Abstract
A method for re-calculating a pattern to be exposed on a target by means of a charged-particle multi-beam writing apparatus is presented. The pattern elements of a pattern, initially associated with a respective assigned dose, are recalculated in view of obtaining reshaped pattern elements which have a nominal dose as assigned dose. The nominal dose represents a predefined standard value of exposure dose to be exposed for pixels during a scanning stripe exposure within the multi-beam apparatus. For the pattern elements associated with an assigned dose deviating from the nominal dose, the pattern element is reshaped by determining a reshape distance from the value of the assigned dose using a predefined dose slope function forming a reshaped pattern element, whose boundary is offset with regard to boundary of the initial pattern element by an offset distance equaling said reshape distance, assigning the nominal dose to the reshaped pattern element, and replacing the pattern element by the reshaped pattern element.
