Abstract:
In one embodiment, an aperture for inspecting a multi-beam allows passage of one beam among multi-beams applied in a multi-beam writing apparatus. The aperture includes a scattering layer that is provided with a through-hole through which the one beam passes, and by which the other beams are scattered, and an absorbing layer that is provided with an opening having a diameter greater than the diameter of the through-hole and that absorbs at least some of the beams entering it.
