According to one embodiment, a monitor pattern is previously exposed together with a device pattern on a resist film, the monitor pattern is developed in a first development condition and a fault occurrence risk is quantified based on a check image. At this time, the range of a second development condition in which the number of faults becomes less than or equal to a permissible value with respect to the quantified fault occurrence risk is determined based on the relationship between fault occurrence risk information and the number of faults. Then, a third development condition in which the pattern dimension becomes a desired value in the second development condition is determined and the device pattern is developed in the thus determined third development condition. |
