Abstract

The present disclosure provides a pattern cross-sectional shape estimation system which includes a charged particle ray device which includes a scanning deflector that scans a charged particle beam, a detector that detects charged particles, and an angle discriminator that is disposed in a front stage of the detector and discriminates charged particles to be detected, and an arithmetic device that generates a luminance of an image, and calculates a signal waveform of a designated region on the image using the luminance. The arithmetic device generates angle discrimination images using signal electrons at different detection angles, and estimates a side wall shape of a measurement target pattern.
