Patent Searching and Data


Title:
PATTERN TESTER AND TESTING METHOD THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3432739
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To evaluate pattern positioning accuracy with high resolution and adequate throughput.
SOLUTION: This device is provided with a reference data generation part 31 for generating reference data, sensor data generation part 32 for generating sensor data, and a multiplier 21 for mutually multiplying the reference data and the sensor data. The reference data generation part 31 has an input device 11 for inputting position coordinates of a stage which hold a non-measured sample and design data of two-dimensional drawing data, a reference data generation circuit 13 for converting the position coordinates and two-dimensional drawing data for generating the reference data, and a first subtraction circuit 14 for subtracting a first offset value from the reference data. Furthermore, the sensor data generation part 32 has a photoelectric converter 15 for converting an optical signal from a pattern on the non-measured sample 3 into an electrical signal, an A/D converter 16 connected to the photoelectric converter 15, and a second subtraction circuit 17 for subtracting a second offset value from an output of the A/D converter 16.
