Abstract
The present invention provides a lithography verification apparatus which executes high-precision lithography verification in consideration of the effects of individual errors integrated. Various information (simulation result, error standard, etc.) are input. A variation distribution value is calculated. The variation distribution value and a variation distribution error standard are compared to determine whether the variation distribution value is smaller than the error standard. The variation distribution error standard is a standard for a value or the like related to a standard deviation or the like for a dimensional displacement. When it is determined that the variation distribution value is smaller than the error standard, an error is determined not to exist, and the processing is ended. When it is determined that the variation distribution value is not smaller than the error standard, an error is determined to exist, and an error list and a variation distribution value are outputted.
