ABSTRACT:
In order to provide an imaging-recipe arranging or creating apparatus and method adapted so that selection rules for automatic arrangement of an imaging recipe can be optimized by teaching in a SEM apparatus or the like, the imaging-recipe arranging or creating apparatus in this invention that arranges an imaging recipe for SEM-observing a semiconductor pattern using a scanning electron microscope includes a database that receives and stores layout information of the above semiconductor pattern in a low-magnification field, and an imaging-recipe arranging unit which, on the basis of the database-stored semiconductor pattern layout information, arranges the imaging recipe automatically in accordance with the automatic arrangement algorithm that includes teaching-optimized selection rules for selecting an imaging point(s).
