Abstract

See full text

Stored energy is evaluated for each of segmented regions, and using the evaluated stored energy, an optimal irradiation amount for an electron beam is evaluated by a conjugate gradient method. The evaluated stored energy is used instead of calculating a determinant (Apk) in the procedure that includes calculation of the determinant (Apk) from among repeated calculation procedures that follow the conjugate gradient method and seek to answer a simultaneous linear equation (Ax=b) with a matrix (A) as a coefficient. Thus it is possible to evaluate the optimal irradiation amount for an electron beam with a high processing speed and a high degree of accuracy, and without expressly requiring the calculation of Apk, by managing the giant matrix (A) comprising numerous factors according to reduction of lines of circuitry in a circuit pattern.
