Abstract

Provided are a method of forming a mask, the method accurately and quickly restoring an image on the mask to the shape on the mask, and a mask manufacturing method using the method of forming the mask. The method of forming a mask includes obtaining first images by performing rasterization and image correction on shapes on the mask corresponding to first patterns on a wafer, obtaining second images by applying a transformation to the shapes on the mask, performing deep learning based on a transformation relationship between ones of the first images and ones of the second images corresponding to the first images, and forming a target shape on the mask corresponding to a target pattern on the wafer, based on the deep learning. The mask is manufactured based on the target shape on the mask.
