ABSTRACT:
A pattern conversion method and apparatus including a storage unit for storing data representative of the contour of a pattern, a readout unit for reading the data from the storing unit; and a processing unit for processing the data read from the storage unit and representative of the contour of the pattern, wherein the processing by the processing unit comprises the steps of: parallel moving each of a plurality of segments constituting the contour of the pattern by the same distance d; solving for an intersection between the moved segments; and repeating the steps for the entire contour of the pattern.
