    摘要: In size measurement of a semiconductor device, profiles of a pattern formed in a resist process are determined through an exposure/development simulation in respect of individual different combinations of exposure values and focus values to form a profile matrix and scattered light intensity distributions corresponding to the individual profiles are determined through calculation to form a scattered light library, thereby forming a profile library consisting of the profile matrix and scattered light library. A scattered light intensity distribution of an actually measured pattern is compared with the scattered light intensity distributions of the scattered light library and a profile of profile matrix corresponding to a scattered light intensity distribution of scattered light library having the highest coincidence is determined as a three-dimensional shape of the actually measured pattern.

    摘要: A relative positional error is caused between an alignment mark and a device area on a mask due to an error inherent to the mask drawing apparatus, which causes an alignment error in the device area even when alignment upon exposure has no problem. Then, according to this invention, a relative positional error between the alignment mark and the device area on the mask is measured in an off line manner, the result of measurement is set upon exposure as a correction value to an exposure device thereby correcting the mask drawing error to reduce alignment errors in the device area.

    摘要: A reticle inspecting apparatus for inspecting a reticle for defects has a transparent or translucent substrate, a circuit pattern formed on the front surface of the substrate, and a phase shifter formed of a light-transmissive film on the front surface of the substrate. In the apparatus, a detection optical system is disposed so as not to gather directly reflected light and directly transmitted light and so as to gather scattered light and diffracted light which has been scattered and diffracted, respectively, by the reticle. This detection optical system is capable of separating the gathered light by direction of illumination using detectors, and spatial filters disposed respectively on Fourier transform planes to intercept light diffracted by straight edges of the circuit pattern, so as to form images of gathered light on the detectors. A signal processing system having a signal processing unit calculates data concerning defects on the basis of the output signals of the detectors and displays the calculated data on a display.
