<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved aperture arrangement in a particle beam exposure device, the aperture arrangement being irradiated with a charged particle beam and allowing the beam to pass only through multiple apertures to form a pattern on a target. <P>SOLUTION: The exposure device has: an aperture array with multiple apertures of a same shape which define shapes and relative arrangement of beamls passing through the apertures; and a blanking means for switching off the travel of beamlets that have passed through the apertures to be defined and selected by them. The apertures are arranged on an aperture arraying means in accordance with an arrangement shifted from the regular arrangement by slight deviations, thereby correcting distortion caused by the particle beam exposure device, wherein aperture sizes of the aperture array differ all over the aperture array in order to correct currents radiated on the target thorough the apertures and corresponding openings. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
