Abstract

First and second anchor features are formed on a photolithography mask, each having a respective center point. An elongated, chromeless, bridging feature is formed between the anchor features. The bridging feature is offset from the center points of the anchor feature to minimize distortions of a corresponding photoresist feature formed by the bridging feature.
