Abstract
The present invention proposes a pattern measurement tool characterized by being provided with: a charged-particle beam sub-system having a tilt deflector; and a computer sub-system which is connected to the charged-particle beam sub-system and which is for executing measurement of a pattern on the basis of a signal obtained by said charged-particle beam sub-system, wherein the charged-particle beam sub-system acquires at least two signal profiles by scanning beams having at least two incidence angles, the computer sub-system measures the dimension between one end and the other end of the pattern on the basis of the at least two signal profiles, calculates the difference between the two measurements, and calculates the height of the pattern by inputting the difference value determined by said calculation into a relational formula indicating the relation between the height of the pattern and said difference value.
