An electron beam writing technology which enables highly accurate deflection correction of a minute field used in an electron beam writing system is provided. In this system, a function to move an electron beam by a deflection means through high-speed deflection scanning so as to repeat formation of a cyclic patterned electron beam and a function to move the patterned electron beam on cyclic correction marks by the deflection means through low-speed deflection scanning in synchronization with one cycle of the repetition are provided, and reflected electrons or secondary electrons emitted from the correction marks and the vicinity thereof or transmitted electrons transmitted through the correction marks in the low-speed deflection scanning are detected so as to correct the position or deflection amount of the electron beam based on the detection result.
