Abstract
A method for measuring a demagnification of a charged particle beam exposure apparatus includes measuring a first stage position of a mask stage in accordance with a mask stage coordinate system, irradiating a first charged particle beam to a first irradiation position on a specimen through the opening portion of the mask, measuring the first irradiation position in accordance with a specimen stage coordinate system, moving the mask stage to a second stage position, measuring the second stage position of the mask stage, irradiating a second charged particle beam to a second irradiation position on the specimen through the opening portion of the mask measuring the second irradiation position in accordance with the specimen stage coordinate system, and calculating a demagnification of the charged particle beam exposure apparatus from the first and second stage positions and the first and second irradiation positions.
