A mask forming method includes providing preliminary mask data including a Manhattan path such as a quadrangle, a bar, a polygon or a combination thereof based on a layout. Mask data including a curvilinear shape is prepared by correcting the preliminary mask data through application of an elliptical function, a B-spline curve, or a combination thereof. A mask pattern is formed on a mask substrate based on the mask data.
