Guide layout creating apparatus, guide layout creating method and recording medium

摘要

In one embodiment, a guide layout creating apparatus includes a selection module that selects a first point as a point on which a guide to array a plurality of particles in a first array is arranged. The apparatus further includes a calculation module that calculates first free energy when the plurality of particles are arrayed in the first array by the guide arranged on the first point, and second free energy when the plurality of particles are arrayed in a second array by the guide arranged on the first point, a type of the second array being different from a type of the first array. The apparatus further includes a determination module that determines whether the first point is employed as the point on which the guide is arranged on the basis of the first free energy and the second free energy.
