Abstract

As a technology for an observation device and an inspection device, a technology capable of reducing a work effort related to generation of a recipe including alignment information is provided. An observation device 1 includes an observation unit 103 that obtains an image for observing a sample 101 on a stage 102. A computer system 2 of the observation device 1 acquires the image from the observation unit 103, specifies a period of a pattern-formed unit region repeatedly formed on a surface of the sample 101 from the image, and generates a recipe including observation or inspection alignment positions of the sample 101 using the specified period.
