Abstract

In one embodiment, a charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a high-voltage power supply configured to apply an acceleration voltage for charged particles to an emission unit, a deflector configured to deflect a charged particle beam emitted from the emission unit, a discharge sensor configured to output an output value indicating a change in a case where a discharge occurs in a column in which the emission unit and the deflector are arranged or in the high-voltage power supply, and a discharge detection control unit configured to convert the output value from the discharge sensor into a conversion value with the same sign, calculate an integral value of the conversion value over a fixed period of time, and determine, based on the integral value, whether or not a discharge that causes a pattern error has occurred.
