Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an overlay error measurement device that is capable of accurately recognizing patterns and executing overlay error measurement, even when one pattern overlaps with another pattern in some areas but not in others. In order to do so, the present invention provides an overlay error measurement device provided with a calculating device for calculating overlay error. The overlay error measurement device is provided with an image designation device for designating a plurality of regions demarcated by luminance borders on an image. The calculating device recognizes, as a first pattern, a region in an image to be measured, corresponding to the plurality of regions demarcated by luminance borders, and uses the recognized first pattern to measure overlay error.

Claim (Index 8):
A computer program for causing a computer to execute an overlay error measurement between a plurality of patterns based on a signal obtained by a charged particle beam apparatus, wherein\n the program causes the computer to recognize a first pattern included in an image to be measured, which is used for the overlay error measurement, based on region information designated so as to extend over a plurality of regions demarcated by luminance borders on an image, and to execute the overlay error measurement using the recognized first pattern.
