Abstract
An electron beam image acquisition apparatus includes a deflector to deflect an electron beam, a deflection control system to control the deflector, a measurement circuitry to measure, while moving a stage for placing thereon a substrate on which a figure pattern is formed, an edge position of a mark pattern arranged on the stage by scanning the mark pattern with an electron beam, a delay time calculation circuitry to calculate, using information on the edge position, a deflection control delay time which is a delay time to start deflection control occurring in the deflection control system, a correction circuitry to correct, using the deflection control delay time, a deflection position of the electron beam, and an image acquisition mechanism to include the deflector and acquire an image of the figure pattern at a corrected deflection position on the substrate.
