Title:
INSPECTION METHOD AND DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/014935
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When the electrical characteristics of an inspection target are measured, higher magnification and higher resolution of an SEM image and real time performance are realized without affecting the electrical characteristics of the inspection target. A first image is acquired which has high image quality and high magnification and includes an image at a target position in an inspection target on a sample. Next, a second image is acquired which has low image quality and low magnification and includes a probe image and the image at the target position in the inspection target on the sample. Next, by combining first image data in the second image, an image for coarse observation at the same magnification as the magnification of the second image is generated. The generation of an image for coarse inspection is repeated until the probe comes close to the target position in the inspection target.
