Abstract
A method of correcting a lithographic mask is disclosed. The method can include detecting a location of the mask that corresponds to a wafer location having a structure that is printed with a larger than desired dimension and reducing a thickness of at least a portion of a mask feature corresponding to the wafer structure to locally increase transmissivity of the mask feature.
