摘要： According to a mask pattern generating method of the embodiments, an undesired pattern, which is transferred onto a substrate due to an auxiliary pattern when an on-substrate pattern is formed on the substrate by using a mask pattern in which the auxiliary pattern is placed, is extracted as an undesired transfer pattern. Then, the mask pattern is corrected by changing a size of the auxiliary pattern according to a size and a position of the undesired transfer pattern.
