    Abstract: This charged-particle beam device changes conditions for combining an intensity ratio between upper and lower deflectors and rotation angles of the deflectors in multiple ways when obtaining images having different pixel sizes in the vertical and horizontal directions. Then, the charged-particle beam device determines an optimal intensity ratio between the upper and lower deflectors and rotation angles of the deflectors on the basis of variations in size value measured in the larger pixel size direction (Y-direction) of the image. As a result, it is possible to extend the field of view in the Y-direction while reducing deflection aberrations when measuring at high precision in the X-direction.

    Abstract: An error of an outline point due to a brightness fluctuation cannot be corrected by a simple method such as a method of adding a certain amount of offset. However, in recent years as the miniaturization of the pattern represented by a resist pattern has progressed, it has been difficult to appropriately determine a region that serves as a reference. An outline of the resist pattern is extracted from an image of the resist pattern obtained by a charged particle beam apparatus in consideration of influence of the brightness fluctuation. That is, a plurality of brightness profiles in the vicinity of edge points configuring the outline are obtained and an evaluation value of a shape of the brightness profile in the vicinity of a specific edge is obtained based on the plurality of brightness profiles, and the outline of a specific edge point is corrected, based on the evaluation value.

    Abstract: The objective of the invention is to provide a measuring method that can determine pattern contours and dimensions with high precision even if an object to be measured shrinks due to electron beam radiations. In order to achieve this objective, a method, which performs measurements by irradiating an electron beam onto a sample having a pattern formed on a primary coating thereof, prepares an SEM image and contour of the pattern (S201, S202), material parameters of the pattern part and primary coating part of the sample (S203, S204), and a beam condition in irradiating the electron beam onto the sample (S205), and uses these prepared things to calculate a pattern shape or dimensions before the irradiation of the electron beam (S206).

    Abstract: A charged particle beam device using a multi-pole type aberration corrector includes: a charged particle source which generates a primary charged particle beam; an aberration correction optical system which corrects aberrations of the primary charged particle beam; a detection unit which detects a secondary charged particle generated from a sample irradiated with the primary charged particle beam whose aberrations have been corrected; an image forming unit which forms a charged particle image of the sample from a signal obtained by detecting the secondary charged particle; an aberration correction amount calculation unit which processes the charged particle image, separates aberrations having different symmetries, selects an aberration to be preferentially corrected from the separated aberrations, and calculates a correction amount of the aberration correction optical system; and an aberration correction optical system control unit which controls the aberration correction optical system based on the calculated correction amount.
