Abstract
A timing control circuit controls the timing for applying a voltage to a sub deflector when changing a position to be irradiated with the charged-particle beam. A control computer compares a target line width and a line width of a pattern written with the timing for applying voltage to the sub deflector changed, and determines appropriate timing for applying voltage to the sub deflector from a timing range corresponding to a predetermined allowable range of the difference between the target line width and the line width of the written pattern. The control computer then controls the timing control circuit based on the determined timing.
