Abstract

A semiconductor manufacturing method comprising, a data generating process including, acquiring a simulation light pattern that simulates a shape of a light exposure pattern formed on a substrate on the basis of design data of a semiconductor device, acquiring a simulation electron beam exposure pattern that simulates a shape of an electron beam exposure pattern formed by an electron beam exposure on the substrate on the basis of the design data, extracting difference information representing a shape difference portion between the simulation light pattern and the simulation electron beam exposure pattern, acquiring changed design data for modifying shape by changing the design data in accordance with the difference information, conducting the electron beam exposure on the substrate by use of the changed design data for modifying the shape.

Claims (10)

1. A data generating method by which a computer accessible to a light pattern storage unit stored with a shape of a light exposure pattern formed on a substrate by a light exposure on the basis of design data of a semiconductor device and to an electron beam exposure pattern storage unit stored with a shape of an electron beam exposure pattern formed on the substrate by an electron beam exposure on the basis of the design data, executes:

reading the shape of the light exposure pattern from the light exposure pattern storage unit;

reading the shape of the electron beam exposure pattern from the electron beam exposure pattern storage unit;

extracting difference information representing a difference portion between the shape of the light exposure pattern and the shape of the electron beam exposure pattern; and

changing the design data for modifying shape into the shape of the light exposure pattern in accordance with the difference information.

2. A non-transitory recording medium readable by computer recorded with a data generating program making a computer accessible to a light pattern storage unit stored with a shape of a light exposure pattern formed on a substrate by a light exposure on the basis of design data of a semiconductor device and to an electron beam exposure pattern storage unit stored with a shape of an electron beam exposure pattern formed on the substrate by an electron beam exposure on the basis of the design data, executes:

reading the shape of the light exposure pattern from the light exposure pattern storage unit;

reading the shape of the electron beam exposure pattern from the electron beam exposure pattern storage unit;

extracting difference information representing a difference portion between the shape of the light exposure pattern and the shape of the electron beam exposure pattern; and

changing the design data for modifying shape into the shape of the light exposure pattern in accordance with the difference information.
