A variable shaped beam exposure method and a pattern forming method using the same exhibit excellent linearity insofar as the variation in measured critical dimension from design critical dimension is concerned. First, the design critical dimension of one of a plurality of patterns that can be formed through the use of the variable shaped beam exposure method is determined. If the value of the critical dimension exceeds a predetermined value, the selected pattern is formed using a first exposure dose which has previously designated for this case. On the other hand, if the value of the critical dimension is less than the predetermined value, the selected pattern is formed using a second exposure dose that is equal to the first exposure dose plus a supplementary exposure dose. |
