Mask data preparation (MDP), also known as layout post-processing, is the procedure of translating a file containing the intended set of polygons from an integrated-circuit layout into set of instructions that a photomask writer can use to generate a physical mask. Typically, amendments and additions to the chip layout are performed in order to convert the physical layout into data for mask production.
