Abstract: A transmitter includes an allocating unit, a determining unit and a control unit. The allocating unit allocates, based on priorities of a first signal and a second signal received by a single port in the transmitter, a band of the port to a signal having a higher priority. The determining unit determines whether a local port in the transmitter or a destination of the local port uses the first signal as a standby signal in a redundant configuration. The control unit changes, when the determining unit determines that the local port or the destination uses the first signal as the standby signal, the priority of the second signal received by the local port such that the priority of the second signal is higher than the priority of the first signal.

Abstract: Referring to design data for a sample, a measurement region is defined at a portion in the design data which has no step in an edge of a pattern. In addition, an edge as a characteristic portion is detected from the design data, and an edge as a characteristic portion corresponding to the characteristic portion of the design data is detected from a secondary electron image. Then, the measurement region is positioned and located in a secondary electron image based on a positional relationship between the edge of the design data and the edge of the secondary electron image. A width of the pattern is measured on the basis of a distance between the two edges included in the measurement region thus located.

Abstract: A pattern measurement apparatus scans an observation region of a sample surface with an electron beam and detects secondary electrons emitted from the sample surface with the irradiation of the electron beam, by using a plurality of electron detectors arranged around the optical axis of the electron beam. Images are taken in two directions that are orthogonal to a pattern extending direction, and are opposite to each other across the optical axis. Then, profiles of a line orthogonal to each of edges are extracted from the images, and a subtraction between the line profiles is taken to obtain a subtractive profile. The position of an upper end of each edge is detected based on a descending portion of the subtractive profile, and the position of a lower end of the edge is detected based on a rising portion or a descending portion of one of the line profiles.
