Abstract

A scanning apparatus which performs scan on an object with a charged particle beam includes: a blanking deflector configured to individually blank a plurality of charged particle beams based on control data; a scanning deflector configured to collectively deflect the plurality of charged particle beams to perform the scan; and a controller. The controller is configured to hold first data used to obtain error in a scanning amount and a scanning direction of the scanning deflector relative to a reference scanning amount and a reference scanning direction with respect to each of the plurality of charged particle beams, and to generate the control data based on the first data so that the scan is performed for a target region on the object.
