摘要

A photomask designing apparatus designs a photomask provided with a light transmission region through which exposure light with a predetermined wavelength transmits, a semi-transmission region having an optical characteristic of 180-degree phase shift and a light shielding region shielding exposure light. The semi-transmission region has a width set so as to be larger as a distance from the semi-transmission region to the light shielding region becomes short with respect to a region in which the semi-transmission region, the light transmission region and the light shielding region are sequentially formed outward from an exposure light passing region side. The width of the semi-transmission region is set so as to be smaller as the distance becomes long.
