Abstract

An exposure method includes generating a reticle exposure pattern based on a target pattern, performing a lithography simulation based on the reticle exposure pattern to generate a simulation pattern that simulates a resist pattern formed by reticle exposure, generating differential data between the target pattern and the simulation pattern, generating a first electron-beam exposure pattern based on the differential data, generating a reticle based on the reticle exposure pattern, performing an optical exposure process with respect to a resist by use of the reticle, and performing an electron-beam exposure process with respect to the resist based on the first electron-beam exposure pattern.
