Abstract

There is disclosed a pattern correcting method comprising extracting a correction pattern, at least the one or more correction patterns being included in a first design pattern formed on a substrate, acquiring layout information from the first design pattern, the layout information affecting a finished plane shape of the correction pattern on the substrate, determining contents of correction onto the correction pattern on the basis of the layout information, generating a design pattern-2 corresponding to the layout information so as to be associated with the correction pattern, and correcting the correction pattern in accordance with the contents of correction corresponding to the design pattern-2.
