Abstract

A method for calculating an offset of an exposure dose and a focus position in an exposure apparatus that exposes a substrate via an original includes the steps of obtaining information of a shape of a pattern formed on the substrate using the exposure apparatus, calculating a shift amount between a critical dimension contained in the information of the shape of the pattern and a reference value of the critical dimension, and calculating an offset of the focus position based on the information of the shape of the pattern, and calculating the offset of the exposure dose based on the shift amount and the offset of the focus position.
