ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide a synthesized signal forming method and an apparatus thereof for realizing both noise reduction and dosage reduction when synthesizing signals detected based on scans performed on a charged particle beam. In order to achieve the above object, with a method that synthesizes signals detected based on a plurality of scans performed on a charged particle beam to form a synthesized signal, a multiplication is performed among a plurality of signals obtained by the plurality of scans and, at the same time, for a multiplied signal, a calculation is performed in which an inverse of the number of previous scans is used as an exponent.
