Abstract

The present invention provides a high-precision and high-speed electron beam exposure technique which corrects the position of each beam in a multi-beam exposure method without using a deflection array and a huge and high-precision driving circuit. In an electron beam exposure method for forming a desired pattern onto a specimen by independently controlling emission and scanning of a plurality of electron beams, a deviation between a pattern formed by each of the plurality of electron beams and the desired pattern is controlled by shifting the position of pattern data of the pattern formed by each of the plurality of electron beams.
