    摘要: A method and apparatus suitable for determining the concavity and convexity of line and space patterns formed on a sample. A profile is formed based on a charged-particle beam scan, the profile having a peak. When one foot portion of the peak converges more gradually than the other foot portion, a portion of the sample corresponding to the one foot portion is determined to be a convex portion. Alternatively, when one foot portion of the peak converges more steeply than the other foot portion, a portion of the sample corresponding to the one foot portion is determined to be a concave portion.

    摘要: In measuring pattern with large process fluctuation, correct measurement cannot be carried out if noises, such as pattern that is not the subject to be measured, and dirt, are present in periphery of pattern to be measured in previously registered measurement region. Among the image data of sample, predetermined region aligned by pattern matching is set as region not to be measured that is excluded from subjects of pattern measurement. For example, in measuring pattern with large process fluctuation, only region including pattern with small process fluctuation is used in pattern matching, while in measuring the pattern, predetermined region, which was used in pattern matching and aligned, is set as region not to be measured. Stable pattern measurement can be easily carried out with respect to pattern with large process fluctuation, without being affected by region where measurement region and region not to be measured overlap with each other.

    摘要: In an apparatus for obtaining an image by irradiating a charged particle beam on a specimen, a condition of the beam conditioned differently from vertical incidence as in the case of the beam being tilted is required to be adjusted. To this end, the apparatus has a controller for automatically controlling a stigmator, an objective lens and a deflector such that astigmatism is corrected, focus is adjusted and view filed shift is corrected. The controller has a selector for inhibiting at least one of the astigmatism correction, focus adjustment and FOV shift correction from being executed.
