A process proximity effect (PPE) correction method includes providing corrected cells arranged in a place/route arrangement, the corrected cells being obtained by correcting design data of a semiconductor device based on correction value for correcting PPE correction, determining whether a cell arrangement of the corrected cells is registered or not based on environmental profiles, conducting lithography verification if the corrected cells includes the cell arrangement not registered in the environmental profiles, the verification being performed on the corrected cells, wherein the corrected cell to be conducted the verification corresponds to the cell arrangement not registered, determining whether error is found or not in the verification, correcting the corrected cell to which the verification is conducted if the error is found and registering the cell arrangement in the environmental profiles, and registering the cell arrangement of the corrected cell if the error is not found.
