Abstract
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drawing apparatus for efficiently calculating pattern area density and proximity effect compensation. SOLUTION: A lithography apparatus 100 includes a block area dividing section 122 for dividing a lithography area into a plurality of first block areas in different sizes to provide the almost equal number of shots, an area density calculating section 126 for calculating each internal pattern area density in each first block area, a second block area dividing section 128 to newly divide the lithography area into a plurality of second block areas, a proximity effect correction calculating section 134 to calculate amount of radiation of light for each internal proximity effect correction using pattern area density in each second block area, a radiation amount calculating section 134 to calculate amount of radiation beam using amount of radiation of light for proximity effect correction, and a lithography section 150 for implementing lithography in the calculated amount of radiation of beam. Thus, fluctuation in calculating time periods among blocks can be eliminated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
