Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pattern measurement device which adequately evaluates a pattern formed by means of a patterning method for forming a pattern that is not in a photomask. In order to fulfil the purpose, the present invention suggests a pattern measurement device provided with a computation device for measuring the dimensions between patterns formed on a sample, wherein: the centroid of the pattern formed on the sample is extracted from data to be measured obtained by irradiating beams; a position alignment process is executed between the extracted centroid and measurement reference data in which a reference functioning as the measurement start point or measurement end point is set; and the dimensions between the measurement start point or the measurement end point of the measurement reference data, which was subjected to position alignment, and the edge or the centroid of the pattern contained in the data to be measured is measured.
