Abstract:
A charged particle beam writing apparatus according to an embodiment starts a wiring operation when the sum of the amount of shot data stored in a buffer memory of a transfer control calculator, the amount of shot data being transferred by a transfer unit, and the amount of shot data stored in a buffer memory of a deflection control circuit reaches the amount of data for one stripe region.
Abstract:
A multi charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a maximum irradiation time acquisition processing circuitry to acquire, for each shot of multi-beams, a maximum irradiation time of irradiation time of each of the multi-beams, a unit region writing time calculation processing circuitry to calculate, using the maximum irradiation time for each shot, a unit region writing time by totalizing the maximum irradiation time of each shot of a plurality of times of shots of the multi-beams which irradiate a unit region concerned during stage moving, for each unit region of a plurality of unit regions obtained by dividing a writing region of a target object, a stage speed calculation processing circuitry to calculate speed of the stage for each unit region so that the stage speed becomes variable, by using the unit region writing time and a stage control processing circuitry to variably control the stage speed.
Abstract:
Charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a first generation unit to generate a smallest deflection region layer in three or more deflection region layers each having deflection regions of a size different from those of other deflection region layers, for each of a plurality of figure types variably shapable using first and second shaping apertures, an assignment unit to assign each of a plurality of shot figure patterns to deflection regions of the smallest deflection region layer of a corresponding one of the plurality of figure types, a correction unit to correct, by shifting the position of each smallest deflection region layer, according to a variable shaping position of each figure type, and a writing unit to write each of the plurality of shot figure patterns on a target object, in a state where the position of each smallest deflection region layer has been corrected for each figure type.
Abstract:
A charged particle beam writing apparatus includes first and second transmission units to perform first and second transmission processing, where, in the first transmission processing, while one of the units performs data transmission processing, the other unit inputs processing data for N processing regions more than pre-set, data-converted, n processing regions, and while one of the units performs data input processing, the other transmits processing data for (N-n) processing regions in order, and in the second transmission processing, processing data for remaining n processing regions are transmitted in order after the first transmission processing, where one of the units starts inputting the processing data while the other performs the first transmission processing, and does not input processing data for a new processing region after starting the second transmission processing.
