Abstract

There is provided a charged beam drawing apparatus which includes main/sub two-stage deflectors, divides a main deflection drawing region on a sample into sub deflection drawing regions determined by the deflection width of the sub deflector, selects one of the sub deflection drawing regions by use of the main deflector and draws shots in the selected sub deflection drawing region by use of the sub deflector. A sub deflection driving unit includes a sub deflection sensitivity correction circuit, a sub deflection astigmatic correction circuit, an adder circuit which adds an output of the sub deflection sensitivity correction circuit and an output of the sub deflection astigmatic correction circuit, and a deflection amplifier which additionally applies an output of the adder circuit to the sub deflector.
