Abstract:
In one embodiment, a charged particle beam lithography apparatus includes an irradiator  201  to irradiate substrates with charged particle beams, each of the substrates being provided with a predetermined mark, and a detector  114  to detect charged particles emitted when the predetermined mark is scanned by a charged particle beam and output a detection signal. The apparatus further includes an amplifier  124  to adjust and amplify the detection signal and output an amplified signal, and a measurement circuitry  211  to measure a location of the predetermined mark based on the amplified signal. The apparatus further includes storage  128  to store initial gain values of the amplifier for amplifying the detection signal, the initial gain values corresponding to conditions of the scan. The amplifier amplifies the detection signal based on an initial gain value selected from the initial gain values according to a condition of the scan.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein the measurement comprises selecting an initial level value from a plurality of initial level values of the amplifier for adjusting the detection signal, and adjusting the detection signal based on the selected initial level value, the plurality of initial level values corresponding to conditions of the scan.
