Abstract: A charged particle beam device includes: a movement mechanism configured to hold and move a sample; a charged particle source configured to emit charged particles with which the sample is irradiated to obtain an image of the sample; and a control unit configured to control the movement mechanism to move the sample and to obtain the image of the sample. The control unit obtains a reference image of the sample in a reference arrangement state by the charged particles, generates a goal image of the sample in a target arrangement state different from the reference arrangement state by calculation from the reference image, moves the sample to each of different arrangement states by the movement mechanism, obtains a candidate image of the sample in each of the different arrangement states by the charged particles, and generates a comparison result between respective candidate images and the goal image.

Abstract: To facilitate evaluation of a predicted process shape in process recipe development using machine learning, a process recipe search apparatus that searches for an etching recipe that is a parameter of a plasma processing apparatus set so as to etch a sample into a desired shape displays, on a display device, the predicted process shape of the sample by a candidate etching recipe predicted by using a machine leaning model, by highlighting a difference between the predicted process shape and a target shape.

Abstract: To provide a technique for evaluating a shape that appears in a cross-sectional image, one of the typical evaluation methods of the present invention evaluates a difference between a target shape and a cross-sectional shape of an electron microscopic image, and includes: a first step of measuring a characteristic dimension of the cross-sectional shape; after the first step, a second step of creating a template of the target shape in the cross-sectional shape obtained from the dimension; and a third step of comparing a difference between the template and the cross-sectional shape using a normalized metric.

Abstract: A charged particle beam apparatus includes a movement mechanism, a particle source, an optical element, a detector, and a control mechanism configured to control, based on an observation condition, the movement mechanism, the particle source, the optical element, and the detector. The control mechanism is configured to acquire a diffraction pattern image including a plurality of Kikuchi lines as a comparison image after inclining the movement mechanism by a first angle, evaluate an error between an inclination angle of the sample and a target inclination angle using a reference image of a reference diffraction pattern and the comparison image, and control inclination of the movement mechanism based on an evaluation result.

Abstract: A charged particle beam apparatus includes: a movement mechanism; a particle source; an optical element; a detector; and a control mechanism, in which the control mechanism acquires a diffraction pattern including a plurality of Kikuchi lines, calculates a crystal zone axis of the sample by performing analysis based on a plurality of intersections at which two Kikuchi lines included in the diffraction pattern intersect with each other, calculates an inclination angle of the sample based on the crystal zone axis and an irradiation direction of the charged particle beam, and controls the moving mechanism based on the inclination angle.
