Claim One:
1. An energy beam exposure method using an energy beam exposure apparatus capable of controlling magnitude relation between a blur of energy beam in a first direction and a blur of energy beam in a second direction different from the first direction, for exposing a pattern on a sample in the energy beam exposure apparatus in a state in which the blur of energy beam in one direction of the first and second directions is set smaller than the blur of energy beam in the other direction comprising: adjusting the magnitude relation of the blurs of energy beam in the first and second directions; adjusting the direction of the sample in the energy beam exposure apparatus on the basis of the pattern to be projected onto the sample and the magnitude relation of the blurs of energy beam in the first and second directions; and projecting the pattern onto the sample by exposing the sample to the energy beam and using shape correction of the pattern, the shape correction being needed to compensate blurs of energy beam in the first and second directions are different from each other.
