Abstract
A data processor compares a length of a pattern to be written into a layer sensitive to a charged particle beam with a critical length equal to the maximum length of a cross section of the charged particle beam or the maximum length of a variable sub-field to see whether or not the pattern is written through a radiation of the maximized cross section or through a radiation onto the maximized sub-field, and a main deflector and a sub-deflector guide a shot of charged particle beam to the layer if the answer is positive so that the pattern is prevented from deformation due to a low stitching accuracy.
