    摘要: Mutual compatibility is established between the measurement with a high magnification and the measurement in a wide region. A pattern measurement apparatus is proposed which adds identification information to each of fragments that constitute a pattern within an image obtained by the SEM, and which stores the identification information in a predetermined storage format. Here, the identification information is added to each fragment for distinguishing between one fragment and another fragment. According to the above-described configuration, it turns out that the identification information is added to each fragment on the SEM image which has possessed no specific identification information originally. As a result, it becomes possible to implement the SEM-image management based on the identification information.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a sample measuring method and a sample measuring device suitable for evaluation of inclination of a pattern edge. To achieve the object, a method and a device for forming a plurality of contours of a pattern edge and evaluating the dimension between the contours are proposed below. Forming a plurality of contours allows evaluation of the degree of inclination of an edge portion of a pattern. Further, displaying evaluation values indicative of the degree of the inclination of the edge portion in an in-plane distribution form makes identifying the cause of taper formation easier.

    摘要: Although there has been a method for evaluating pattern shapes of electronic devices by using, as a reference pattern, design data or a non-defective pattern, the conventional method has a problem that the pattern shape cannot be evaluated with high accuracy because of the difficulty in defining an exact shape suitable for the manufacturing conditions of the electronic devices. The present invention provides a shape evaluation method for circuit patterns of electronic devices, the method including a means for generating contour distribution data of at least two circuit patterns from contour data sets on the circuit patterns; a means for generating a reference pattern used for the pattern shape evaluation, from the contour distribution data; and a means for evaluating the pattern shape by comparing each evaluation target pattern with the reference pattern.
