ABSTRACT:
A charged beam writing method includes acquiring reference data of shapes or positions of a plurality of apertures of a second shaping aperture, thereafter performing a writing operation, scanning a beam passed through a first shaping aperture over the second shaping aperture while a blanking deflector is driven to intercept irradiation of the shaped beam to the surface of a substrate to be processed by the blanking aperture after performing the writing operation for a certain time, measuring the shapes or the positions of apertures of the second shaping aperture by a detector, comparing the shapes or the positions with the reference data to thereby measure shift amounts of the shapes or the positions of apertures of the second shaping aperture, correcting a deflection amount of the objective deflector in accordance with the shift amount, and resuming the writing operation after stopping the driving of the blanking deflector.
