Abstract

Provided is a technology for evaluating a property of a pattern formed inside a sample from two-dimensional information of the sample. A pattern evaluation system of the present disclosure includes a computer subsystem that executes a process of evaluating a property of a pattern by reading a program from a memory that stores the program for evaluating the property of the pattern formed inside a sample. The computer subsystem executes a process of acquiring an image of the sample; a process of extracting a signal waveform from the image; a process of calculating a feature amount in a predetermined region of the signal waveform; a process of comparing the feature amount with a reference value of the feature amount; and a process of evaluating the property of the pattern based upon a comparison result in the comparison process.
