Abstract
A pattern inspection method includes: acquiring an image of a pattern; performing matching of CAD data for the pattern and the image; extracting coordinates of a plurality of points on a line segment constituting a polygon figure in the CAD data, to be defined as a first coordinate group; specifying coordinates of edge points in the image corresponding to the plurality of points to be defined as a second coordinate group; calculating differences between the coordinates corresponding to each other from the first and second coordinate group, and calculating statistics each representing a degree of deviation in the matching based on the differences; correct the polygon figure when it is determined that a correction is required as a result of judgment based on the statistics; and inspecting the pattern by comparing the corrected polygon figure with the image.
