Abstract
A mask and a method of forming the mask obviate optical proximity effects. The mask includes a light-shielding layer on a transparent substrate. The light-shielding layer is patterned to form a main pattern and a phantom pattern. The main and phantom patterns each have a light shielding portion and a light-transmitting portion. The pitch of the features constituting the phantom pattern is identical to the pitch of the features constituting the main pattern. The shape of the light-transmitting features of the phantom pattern region is identical to the shape of the light-transmitting features of the main pattern region.
