A pattern of exposure mask-use design data having a hierarchical structure is corrected in order to finish with fidelity a transfer pattern to be formed on a wafer, in which if the exposure apparatus has a light source shape that does not have rotation symmetry at any given angle around an optical axis, as the center, of an illumination optics or a projection optics, a cell A rotated in arrangement in input data having a hierarchical structure is replaced with a cell A' not employing rotation and then optical proximity correction is effected. |
