Abstract
Disclosed is an exposure pattern forming method of forming an exposure pattern by correcting each pattern portion constituting a design pattern by a correction amount, which amount is previously prepared so as to correspond to both a line width of the pattern portion and a space width of a space portion adjacent to the pattern portion, characterized by including the steps of: subjecting the design pattern to graphic form arithmetic operation, to extract each pattern portion for each target line width, and to extract space portion for each target space width; and subjecting each pattern portion extracted for each target line width and the space portion extracted for each target space width to graphic form arithmetic operation based on the corresponding one of the correction amounts, to thereby correct the pattern portion having each target line width for each target space width.
