Abstract

An electron beam lithography system which generates phase shift pattern data relating to main patterns, and exposes the phase shift pattern on a mask plate by using an electron beam in accordance with instruction from a computer. An electron beam lithography system is provided which can remarkably decrease a time needed for preparing phase shift pattern data. The apparatus is furnished with a parameter table for storing equations to generate phase shift pattern data, and generates the phase shift pattern data by assigning original pattern data into equations in accordance with a corresponding instruction for applying a phase shift method, and automatically exposes the phase shift pattern.
