Method of selecting pattern to be measured, pattern inspection method, manufacturing method of semiconductor device, program, and pattern inspection apparatus

摘要

A method of selecting a pattern to be measured includes selecting only points from a combination of all factors effecting dimensional fluctuations. For example, fluctuation between wafers, fluctuation in a wafer, and fluctuation in a chip are candidates for measurement points of patterns to be measured. Further, the number of the selected points corresponds to a divisor of the combination of all factors.
