  • Patent number: 10538429
    Abstract: In a calculator in a MEMS manufacturing system, a stage control unit inclines a stage based on a stage angle 1 setting a stage inclination angle and a stage angle 2 of the inclination angle different from the stage angle 1. A stage-angle calculation unit calculates the stage inclination angles from first and second images acquired by a SEM apparatus when the stage control unit sets the stage at the stage angles 1 and 2. A 3D-data creation unit creates three-dimensional device data from a third image that is a device image acquired when the stage is set at the stage angle 1 and a fourth image that is a device image acquired when the stage is set at the stage angle 2. When the three-dimensional device data is created, a correction value calculated from the stage angles 1 and 2 and the first and second images is used.
