Abstract
A semiconductor device can be manufactured based on patterning groups to include a metal layer patterned according to separate patterning groups. The patterning groups are based on a layout pattern. Preparing the layout pattern includes selecting a first power pattern and a second power pattern, selecting a first pattern and a second pattern therebetween, and selecting a tie-connection pattern to connect the first power pattern to the first pattern. The manufacturing includes forming metal lines according to the patterning groups. Photomasks are manufactured according to the layout pattern, and the metal lines are formed according to the photomasks. A first photomask is manufactured based on the first power pattern and the second power pattern, the first pattern, and the tie-connection pattern, and a second photomask is manufactured based on the second pattern.
