Abstract: A die having a cavity and a lower punch fitted into the cavity. The cavity is divided and the parts slide along a division plane passing through the cavity parallel to the fitting direction of the die and the lower punch. The divided cavity parts are placed in a state of alignment along the division plane. The divided cavity parts are each filled with raw material powder. The die and the lower punch are then slid along the division plane, whereby the divided cavity parts are combined as the original cavity. The raw material powder in the cavity in a combined state is compressed by an upper punch and the lower punch.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides a pattern measurement method and device for achieving highly accurate measurement in the depth direction of a pattern. The method involves a focused ion beam irradiated to form an inclined surface in a sample area; a field of view of a SEM set to include the boundary between the inclined surface and a sample surface; and an image of the field of view obtained on the basis of a detection signal. Such an acquired image is used to specify a first position, the boundary between inclined surface and non-inclined surface, and a second position, the position of a desired deep hole or deep groove positioned within the inclined surface. The pattern dimension in a height direction is determined on the basis of the distance in the sample surface direction between the first position and second position and the angle of the inclined surface.
