Abstract

An electron beam lithography apparatus comprises: a spot electron beam generator; device for exposing a desired pattern onto a wafer using the spot beam; device for dividing the pattern into small regions; and device for designating an origin of the small region and also digitally scanning the portion inside the small region by a fixed correction amount by use of the spot beam, and thereby to reduce the settling time of the D/A converter in association with the digital scanning.
