Abstract

An electron beam exposure system which includes a plurality of electron beam exposure apparatuses and achieves reduction in the memory of an electron beam exposure apparatus by eliminating data transfer/data conversion for each electron beam exposure apparatus. The plurality of electron beam exposure apparatuses of the electron beam exposure system deflect an electron beam on the basis of control data and expose a pattern onto an object to be exposed, and a data control device sends, on the basis of pattern information of a pattern to be exposed which is sent out from one of the electron beam exposure apparatuses, control data corresponding to the pattern to be exposed to the electron beam exposure apparatus which has sent the pattern information. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing devices, which utilizes a plurality of electron beam exposure apparatuses.
