Abstract

An electron microscope device includes: a first detection means disposed at a high elevation angle for detecting electrons having relatively low energy; a second detection means disposed at a low elevation angle for detecting electrons having relatively high energy; a means for identifying, from a first image obtained from a first detector, a hole region in a semiconductor pattern within a preset region; a means for calculating for individual holes, from a second image obtained from a second detector, indexes pertaining to an inclined orientation and an inclination angle, on the basis of the distance between the outer periphery of the hole region and the hole bottom; and a means for calculating, from the results measured for the individual holes, indexes pertaining to an inclined orientation of the hole and an inclination angle of the hole as representative values for the image being measured.
