Charged particle beam writing apparatus

Abstract

A multi charged particle beam writing apparatus includes a stage to mount a target object thereon, an emission unit to emit a charged particle beam, an aperture member, in which a plurality of openings are formed, to form a multibeam by letting a region including a whole of the plurality of openings be irradiated with the charged particle beam and letting portions of the charged particle beam respectively pass through a corresponding opening of the plurality of openings, a plurality of electromagnetic lenses, directions of whose magnetic fields are opposite, and three or more electrostatic lenses, at least one of which is arranged in each of the magnetic fields of a plurality of electromagnetic lenses and one or more of which also serve as deflectors for collectively deflecting the multibeam onto the target object.
