    摘要: The invention provides a standard component for calibration that enables a calibration position to be easily specified in order to calibrate accurately a scale factor in the electron-beam system, and provides an electron-beam system using it. High-accuracy metrology calibration capable of specifying a calibration position can be realized by forming a mark pattern or labeled material for identifying the calibration position in proximity of a superlattice pattern of the standard component for system calibration. The standard component for calibration is one that calibrates a scale factor of an electron-beam system based on a signal of secondary charged particles detected by irradiation of a primary electron beam emitted from the electron-beam system on a substrate having a cross section of a superlattice of a multi-layer structure in which different materials are deposited alternately. The substrate have linear patterns that are on the substrate surface parallel to the multi-layer and are arranged at a fixed interval in a direction crossing the cross section of the superlattice pattern, and is so configured that the cross sections of the linear patterns may exist on substantially the same plane of the superlattice cross section, so that the linear patterns enable a position of the superlattice pattern to be identified.

    摘要: Disclosed is a standard specimen, used with an electron microscope to correct the magnification with high precision. A standard member used for correction corrects a scanning electron microscope that measures a pattern within an observation region based on information about the secondary electrons generated by scanning incident electron lines on the observation region on a measurement specimen, or information about the reflected electron intensity. The standard member has a first pattern region that corrects the magnification and that comprises a concavo-convex pattern (line/space pattern) in the cross section of a multilayer film that has been laminated, and a second pattern region near the first pattern at almost the same height that does not contain a pattern with the same periodicity as the pattern pitch size of the first region and that is used for beam adjustment.
