Abstract:
A method for fabricating a phase shift mask includes preparing a transmissive substrate on which a first mask region and a second mask region surrounding the first mask region are defined. In the first mask region, main patterns are formed having a first pitch in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each of the main patterns has a first area. In at least one row, assist patterns are formed at the first pitch to surround the main patterns. Each of the assist patterns has a second area less than the first area. In the second mask region, dummy patterns are formed in a plurality of rows. The dummy patterns surround the assist patterns at the first pitch. Each of the dummy patterns has a third area greater than the first area.

Claim (Index 17):
The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein forming the lower electrodes includes:\n forming the lower electrodes in a honeycomb structure; and forming a hexagon structure with lower electrodes at vertices of a hexagon and a lower electrode at a center point of the hexagon, and wherein: the lower electrodes at the vertices of the hexagon structure are respectively at center points of six different hexagon structures, and the lower electrode at the center point of the hexagon structure is one of lower electrodes at vertices of each of the six different hexagon structures and the six different hexagon structures share the lower electrode.
