Abstract
A method for checking a phase shift angle of a PSM is described. A calibration curve of a characteristic value of lithography performance with respect to the phase shift angle of a type of PSM is acquired. The patterns of a PSM of the type to be checked are transferred to a photoresist layer to form photoresist patterns, and the characteristic value is measured. The real phase shift angle of the PSM is derived based on the characteristic value according to the calibration curve.
