A method of forming a photomask is provided. A first layout pattern is first provided to a computer system and followed by generating an assist feature pattern by the computer system based on the first layout pattern and adding the assist feature pattern into the first layout pattern to form a second layout pattern. Thereafter, an optical proximity correction process is performed with reference to both the first layout pattern and the assist feature pattern to the second layout pattern without altering the assist feature pattern to form a third layout pattern by the computer system. Then, the third layout pattern is output to form a photomask.
