Abstract
A charged particle beam scanning inspecting apparatus for irradiating a charged particle beam, fetching information of a subject to be inspected at a predetermined beam scanning position and performing an inspection by processing the information. The apparatus is a measurer which measures a scanning position of the beam and an inspection position on said inspection subject to calculate beam target coordinates corrected for an apparatus error, an error correction constant and a deflected distortion correction constant, and a deflection controller for scanning the beam. The deflection controller includes a deflection position operating circuit for performing an operation of the inspection position in a deflection coordinate system, a deflected distortion operating circuit. The deflection position operating circuit and deflected distortion operating circuit are constructed in a pipe line fashion.
