    摘要: For inspection of a pattern such as a semiconductor device, it is useful to selectively detect a defect on the specific pattern in order to estimate the cause of the occurrence of the defect. An object of the invention is to provide a charged particle beam apparatus capable of setting, on the basis of the shape of the pattern on a sample, a region to be inspected. The invention is characterized in that the contour of the pattern on the sample is extracted using a template image obtained on the basis of an image of the sample, the region to be inspected is set on the basis of the contour of the pattern, a defect candidate is detected by comparing the image to be inspected with a comparative image, and the sample is inspected using a positional relationship between the region to be inspected and the defect candidate included in the region to be inspected.

    摘要: An apparatus for forming an image corresponding to an input image signal, includes a light beam generator for generating a light beam; a driver for driving the light beam generator; and an image outputting device for scanning the generated light beam which has been reflected by a rotary polygonal mirror to a recording medium in a primary direction and, for moving the recording medium in a secondary direction substantially perpendicular to the primary direction so that the image is formed. A periodical modulation signal generator changes a phase or an amplitude of a first reference signal including a fundamental frequency having a period corresponding to one rotation of the rotary polygonal mirror, and generates a plurality of periodical modulation signals having different phases or different amplitudes from each other. A multiplier multiplies a second reference signal having a predetermined frequency value by the plurality of periodical modulation signals respectively. A controller controls the driver and the image outputting device in accordance with a plurality of multiplied periodical signals, and forms images respectively corresponding to the plurality of multiplied periodical signals. A periodical modulation signal inputting device inputs a first periodical modulation signal corresponding to a first position on the recording medium, and a second periodical modulation signal corresponding to a second position different from the first position. A calculator generates an unevenness correction signal in response to the inputted first and second periodical modulation signals.
