Abstract

In a charged particle beam projection apparatus in which a plurality of areas are defined in a mask and a pattern in each area is projected in a corresponding area on a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer or the like, in order to reduce aberration caused by magnetic lens or deflectors when projecting the mask pattern onto the substrate, the positioning and dimensions of these magnetic lenses or the deflectors are set so that specific relationships are achieved, or a distortion in the mask pattern projected on the substrate is corrected in correspondence to the partitioned areas on the mask pattern.
