Abstract
An inspection device includes first and second electro-optical systems, a first detector, and a shape calculation unit. The first electro-optical system irradiates an object to be inspected with a first electron beam to cause an irradiation mark to be placed on the object to be inspected. The second electro-optical system irradiates the object to be inspected with a second electron beam. The first detector detects a secondary electron generated from the object to be inspected in response to the irradiation by the second electron beam, and outputs a first signal based on the irradiation mark. The shape calculation unit calculates a three-dimensional shape of the object to be inspected based on the first signal, an irradiation direction of the first electron beam, and an irradiation direction of the second electron beam.
