In one embodiment, a multi charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a measurement unit measuring a first beam shape of a multi-beam based on a beam current of each beam of the multi-beam or an intensity of charged particles reflected from a reflection mark provided on a stage, an amounts of adjustment calculator calculating amounts of adjustment of a reduction ratio and a rotation angle of the multi-beam based on the first beam shape, a correction map generation unit generating a first correction map in which an amount of displacement is defined that is obtained for each beam of the multi-beam based on a difference between a beam shape based on the amounts of adjustment and the first beam shape, a writing data processor generating shot data in which an amount of irradiation with each beam of the multi-beam is defined by converting writing data in which information regarding a graphic pattern to be written is defined, and correcting the amount of irradiation with each beam defined in the shot data based on the first correction map, and a controller controlling the reduction ratio and rotation angle of the multi-beam based on the amounts of adjustment.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a multi charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a plurality of reflective marks disposed on a stage, an inspection aperture member configured to allow one beam to pass therethrough, a first detector detecting a beam current of a beam passed through the inspection aperture member, a second detector detecting charged particles reflected from the reflective marks, a first beam shape calculator generating a beam image based on the beam currents detected by the first detector and calculating a reference beam shape, and a second beam shape calculator calculating a beam shape based on changes in intensity of the reflected charged particles and a position of the stage. The reference beam shape is calculated before writing. During writing, the beam shape based on reflected charged particles is calculated, and variation of the beam shape is added to the reference beam shape.
