Patent number: 8705841Abstract: A pattern inspection apparatus for detecting an abnormality includes a storage, a compensator and an abnormality judger. The storage stores data based on a reference pattern associated with an object pattern as an object to detect an abnormality and including a first pattern edge portion and a second pattern edge portion. The compensator partially compensates a location of the first pattern edge portion to be shrunk or expanded based on the reference pattern such that the first pattern edge portion is to be placed at a location of a third pattern edge portion while the second pattern edge portion maintains the same size. The abnormality judger sets a tolerance based on the location compensated based on the reference pattern, and judges the object pattern as abnormal when an outline of the object pattern is fallen outside of the tolerance.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Shinichi Shinoda, Yasutaka Toyoda, Ryoichi Matsuoka
