    摘要: This invention is to provide a shape measuring device and a shape measuring method that can accurately measure a cross-sectional shape or a three-dimensional shape of a sample without using matching of characteristics. A shape measuring apparatus comprises a charged particle beam apparatus comprising a processor for measuring detected charged particles signal generated from the sample. The charged particle beam is irradiated to sample at first angle to generate a first signal and second angle to generate second signal. The processor selects a parameter indicating a relation between the first signal and a height of the sample or an inclination angle of the specimen until the first signal which achieves the second signal.

    摘要: In order to process a program by parallel processing using a plurality of processors, the program is divided into a plurality of partial programs. Then one or more expressions are derived, the or each expression expressing a relationship between the partial programs, such as which can be executed independently and which require the execution of another partial program. The expression or expressions can then be investigated to determine which has a desired characteristic, such as a characteristic corresponding to uniform loading of the processors. The expression can also be varied, to give more options for the selection of the expression with the desired characteristic. Then the partial programs can be distributed to the processors on the basis of the relationship corresponding to the expression which has the desired characteristic. Furthermore, when the partial programs are being executed by the processors, any processor which has completed its processing broadcasts a signal to the other processors, which may then re-assign one or more of their partial programs. In this way, parallel processing can be carried out quickly, with substantially uniform loading of the processors.

    摘要: An inspection apparatus and method are provided, wherein even when an image that cannot be processed by a current image processing algorithm is input to an image processing unit while a working line is in operation, the inspection can be continued by newly generating an image processing algorithm optimized in keeping with a particular image. The apparatus includes an erroneous recognition detector, a teacher data generator and a switching unit for switching the current image processing algorithm to a new image processing algorithm generated based on an updated teacher data group. As a result, the inspection can be continued without extremely decreasing the accuracy even when an unexpected image is input to the working line.

    摘要: A pattern matching method for a scanning electron microscope comprises a step of performing pattern matching of only an upper layer pattern between an image (101) in which a pattern consisting of plural layers is represented and a template (104) in which the upper layer pattern of the plural layer pattern is selectively represented, thereby identifying the position of the pattern consisting of the plural layers. Then, information about the upper layer pattern is subtracted from the image (101), thus extracting shape information (108) about the lower layer pattern. Consequently, stable positioning or selective information extraction on a certain layer is enabled regardless of the state of the depths of a pattern formed in three dimensions or of the charge state of a sample.

    摘要: A similar image having a high correlation is selected through autocorrelation performs a template original image selected from an image photographed for a template, and a difference image between the similar image and template original image is formed. An image extracting a real difference is formed by removing noises and edges in unstable areas from the difference image. This image is added to the template original image to form a modified template. Template matching is performed by using the modified template as a template. The image extracting the real reference and added to the modified template functions to add an evaluation penalty to the similar image during matching evaluation to lower an evaluation value of the similar image so that a probability of erroneously recognizing the similar image as the image to be detected.
