Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a mask error and a method for measuring a mask error are provided. The apparatus for measuring a mask error includes a stage configured to accommodate a reference mask having a reference pattern, and a target mask adjacent to the reference mask such that a mask pattern of the target mask faces the reference pattern, a light source configured to irradiate the first beam onto the reference mask and the target mask, a light receiving unit including an image sensor, and the image sensor configured to receive a composite image including a first image generated from the reference pattern and a second image generated from the mask pattern, and generate a third image from the first image and the second image, and a measuring unit configured to measure an error of the mask pattern from the third image.

Abstract: A method for measuring a critical dimension of a mask pattern, including generating a mask pattern using an optically proximity-corrected (OPC) mask design including at least one block; measuring a first critical dimension of a target-region of interest (target-ROI) including neighboring blocks having a same critical dimension (CD), in the mask pattern; determining a group region of interest including the target-ROI and at least one neighboring block adjacent to the target-ROI; measuring second CDs of the neighboring blocks of the group region of interest; and correcting a measuring value of the first CD using a measuring value of the second CDs.
