Method of producing electron beam writing data, program of producing electron beam writing data, and electron beam writing apparatus

摘要

A method of producing electron beam writing data in which a figure cell contained in the cell-based device pattern in electron beam lithography of character projection scheme is extracted as a character pattern is disclosed. The method comprises removing an overlap of pattern data included in the figure cell, producing a character pattern cutting frame from a cell allocation frame in the figure cell, assigning a figure inside of the produced character pattern cutting frame to a pattern to be shot in a character projection scheme as a character pattern, defining a figure outside of the character pattern cutting frame as a non-character pattern, removing an overlap between an adjacent pattern and the non-character pattern, and assigning a portion of the non-character pattern, which is not overlapped on the adjacent pattern to a pattern to be shot in a variable shaping beam scheme.
