In one embodiment, a data processing method is for creating write data from design data, and registering the write data into a writing apparatus. The method includes applying, to a plurality of pieces of first frame data into which first chip data of the design data is divided, a plurality of conversion processes to create the write data, and applying a plurality of pre-processes to a plurality of pieces of second frame data into which second chip data of the write data is divided, and registering the second chip data into the writing apparatus. The plurality of conversion processes and the plurality of pre-processes are each performed in a pipeline processing on a per-frame basis. The write data is registered into the writing apparatus on a per-chip basis, on a per-virtual chip basis, or on a per-frame basis. The virtual chip includes a plurality of chips combined together.

In one embodiment, a charged particle beam drawing apparatus includes a drawing unit that draws a pattern in a drawing area on a substrate and a control processing circuitry that controls the drawing unit via a process including receiving drawing data with a hierarchical correction map input to the control processing circuitry. The drawing data with the hierarchical map includes a plurality of files in which division maps are respectively described in files in units of subframes. Each division map includes dose correction information associated with corresponding one of blocks of the drawing area. The process further includes generating shot data by performing a data conversion process on the drawing data, reading a division map corresponding to a block in the area to be drawn from the hierarchical correction map, calculating a dose, and controlling the drawing unit based on the shot data and the calculated dose.
