Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for reducing the influence of the spread of a transmitted light on a feature size, during optical lithography. SOLUTION: The method comprises at least two irradiation steps. During a first irradiation step, a resist is exposed with an original mask (100), i.e. comprising substantially a pattern to be obtained in a layer. Thereafter, without developing the exposed resist (140), an irradiation step with at least one exposure is performed whereby the resist (140) is exposed with a second mask, which is at least partly the inverse of the original mask (100). The exposures of the second irradiation step are compared and then defocused as the first irradiation step. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
