    摘要: The present invention suppresses decreases in the volumes of the patterns which have been formed on the surfaces of semiconductor samples or of the like, or performs accurate length measurements, irrespective of such decreases. In an electrically charged particle ray apparatus by which the line widths and other length data of the patterns formed on samples are to be measured by scanning the surface of each sample with electrically charged particle rays and detecting the secondary electrons released from the sample, the scanning line interval of said electrically charged particle rays is set so as not to exceed the irradiation density dictated by the physical characteristics of the sample. Or measured length data is calculated from prestored approximation functions.

    摘要: It is to prevent an image drift from occurring caused by a specimen being charged when observing the specimen including an insulating material.A first scan is performed in a predetermined direction on scanning line and in a predetermined sequential direction of scanning lines and a second scan is performed in a scanning direction different from the predetermined scanning direction and in a sequential direction different from the predetermined sequential direction. An image may be created by repeating the process of executing the second scan after executing the first scan and by requiring the arithmetic average of the frames obtained by the second scans. An image may be created by averaging arithmetically at least one frame obtained by the first scan and at least one frame obtained by the second scan.
