Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method useful for measuring topographical features of a substrate. SOLUTION: A coating method of the substrate for activating gas using an electron beam is disclosed. The coated substrate is then sliced using an ion beam to clarify resist features in the cross section direction. The features of resist are measured using a scanning electron microscope, and a focused ion beam is used for taking the slicing of the substrate and clarifying a new cross section. This new cross section is then measured using the scanning electron microscope. Thus, a three-dimensional map of the features may be built up. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
