Abstract

A plurality of points with identical geometric feature is compared with their SEM characteristic features to inspect defect in a localized image. Original design information is included in the geometric feature such that absolute compare can be performed in this inspection method. Further, this method can also be applied to the localized image with or without repeated or redundant pattern.
