    摘要: To create a template for use in image recognition based on design data, luminance information is set for each area in the template based on the information regarding the region defined by the template. The luminance information may be set based on material information, pattern size information of a pattern arranged in the region defined by the template, and layer information of the region defined by the template. Alternatively, luminance information may be set based on material information, setup conditions of the scanning electron microscope, and pattern outline information of a pattern arranged in the region defined by the template.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for quantitatively evaluating two-dimensional patterns, a reference coordinate system is set in order to convert pattern edge information (one-dimensional data) acquired by measurement using an existing critical dimension machine into coordinate data. Thus, a pattern is converted into coordinate information. Next, a function formula is determined from this coordinate information by approximate calculation and a pattern is represented by the mathematical expression y=f(x). Integrating y=f(x) in the reference coordinate used when calculating the coordinate data gives the area of the pattern, whereby it is possible to convert the coordinate data to two-dimensional data.

Specifically, the luminance information is set based on at least one of information from among the above material information, the pattern size information of a pattern arranged in the region defined by the template, the setup conditions of an imaging apparatus, the layer information of the region defined by the template, and the outline information of a pattern.

    摘要: A method capable of quantitatively evaluating two-dimensional patterns and a system to which the method is applied are provided. In the present invention, a reference coordinate system is set in order to convert pattern edge information (one-dimensional data) acquired by measurement using an existing critical dimension machine into coordinate data. Thus, a pattern is converted into coordinate information. Next, a function formula is determined from this coordinate information by approximate calculation and a pattern is represented by the mathematical expression y=f(x). Integrating y=f(x) in the reference coordinate used when calculating the coordinate data gives the area of the pattern, whereby it is possible to convert the coordinate data to two-dimensional data.
