ABSTRACT:
A charged particle beam exposure apparatus has a beam shaping optical system which forms an image of a charged particle source that emits charged particle beams, an aperture array and electrostatic lens which form a plurality of images of the charged particle source from the image of the charged particle source, a reduction electron optical system which reduces and projects the plurality of images of the charged particle source onto a wafer, and the first stigmator which generates astigmatism when the beam shaping optical system forms the image of the charged particle source in order to correct astigmatism generated in the reduction electron optical system. A charged particle beam exposure method of exposing a substrate by scanning with charged particle beams includes an adjustment step of making the size in the scanning direction of charged particle beams on the substrate smaller than the size in a direction perpendicular to the direction.
