Patent ID: 7476881

Claim:
A charged beam drawing apparatus which draws a desired pattern on a sample by use of a charged beam deflected in main/sub two stages, comprising: a main deflector which deflects a charged beam, the main deflector sequentially selecting a plurality of sub-deflection drawing regions obtained by dividing a main deflection drawing region of a sample, a main deflection driving unit which drives the main deflector, a sub deflector which deflects the charged beam in the selected sub deflection region, the sub deflector drawing a pattern in the selected sub deflection region, and a sub deflection driving unit which drives the sub deflector, the sub deflection driving unit including a sub deflection sensitivity correction circuit which corrects deflection sensitivity according to a shot position in the sub deflection region, a sub deflection astigmatic correction circuit which corrects a deflection astigmatic point according to a shot position in the sub deflection region, an adder circuit which superimposes an output of the sub deflection sensitivity correction circuit and an output of the sub deflection astigmatic correction circuit and a deflection amplifier which applies an output of the adder circuit to the sub deflector.
