摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the generations of the global steps caused by unbalance in the residue-film thicknesses after a CMP process, when making semiconductor elements by performing an STI-CMP process.;SOLUTION: By utilizing a residue-film-thickness distribution (a pattern-ratio distribution for CMP) which is the assumed-value distribution of residue-film thicknesses after a CMP process; and by using a computer, there is extracted a first region A in a patterning mask, which corresponds to an region X having higher values for the residue-film-thickness distribution than a first threshold. Then, in a region of the first region A, wherefrom a mask pattern 16 for forming an activated region is excluded, there is modified and designed the layout of a first quasi mask pattern 40a for forming a first quasi-activated region having a width which is not smaller than the predetermined width in a semiconductor substrate. Also, in accordance with the modifying of this patterning mask, an isolation-film removing mask pattern 40a' is so modified and so designed in a first region A' of the isolation-film removing mask as to remove the predetermined region of the isolation film, which is to be formed on the first quasi activated region. Then, based on these designs, the patterning mask and the isolation-film removing mask are formed realistically.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
