Abstract
In one embodiment, a charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a writer writing a pattern on a substrate on a stage with a charged particle beam, a mark substrate disposed on the stage and having a mark, an irradiation position detector detecting an irradiation position of the charged particle beam on a mark surface, a height detector detecting a surface height of the substrate and the mark substrate, a drift correction unit calculating an amount of drift correction, and a writing control unit correcting the irradiation position of the charged particle beam by using the amount of drift correction. The mark substrate has a pattern region with a plurality of marks and a non-pattern region with no pattern therein, and at least part of the non-pattern region is disposed between different portions of the pattern region. The height detector detects a height of a detection point in the non-pattern region.
