A method for resizing a pattern to be written by using lithography technique includes calculating a first dimension correction amount of a pattern for correcting a dimension error caused by a loading effect, for each small region made by virtually dividing a writing region of a target workpiece into meshes of a predetermined size, based on an area density of the each small region, calculating a second dimension correction amount in accordance with a line width dimension of the pattern to be written in the each small region, correcting the first dimension correction amount by using the second dimension correction amount, and resizing the line width dimension of the pattern by using a corrected first dimension correction amount, and outputting a result of the resizing.

Acquired mask data of a defect portion is sent to a simulated repair circuit 300 to be simulated. The simulation of the acquired mask data 204 is returned to the mask inspection results 205 and thereafter sent to a wafer transfer simulator 400 along with a reference image at the corresponding portion. A wafer transfer image estimated by the wafer transfer simulator 400 is sent to a comparing circuit 301. When it is determined that there is a defect in the comparing circuit 301, the coordinates and the wafer transfer image which is a basis for the defect determination are stored as transfer image inspection results 206. The mask inspection results 205 and the transfer image inspection result 206 are then sent to the review device 500.

A charged-particle beam microlithographic apparatus is generally made up of a pattern writing unit and a system controller. The writer has an electron beam source and a pattern generator for forming a pattern image on a workpiece. The system controller includes a unit for correcting proximity and fogging effects occurrable during pattern writing. This unit has a first calculator for calculating a proximity effect-corrected dose, a functional module for calculation of a fog-corrected dose while including therein the influence of the proximity effect, and a multiplier for combining the calculated doses together to determine a total corrected dose. The module has a second calculator for calculating a variable real value representing the proximity-effect influence to be considered during fog correction, and a third calculator for calculating using this value the fog-corrected dose.
摘要:
An MRI system capable of acquiring a high-quality blood vessel image even during a measuring period other than at an injected contrast medium concentration peak by always picking up an image under optimum conditions while following up with an injected contrast medium concentration that changes every moment in the body. A flip angle is changed according to a contrast medium concentration b(t) as shown by a curve (102). During a period (Da) where a contrast medium concentration b(t) gradually increases, a flip angle (FA) increases according to a contrast medium concentration b(t); and during a period (Db) where a contrast medium concentration b(t) gradually decrease, a flip angle is gradually decreased. If a flip angle is controlled so as to follow up with a contrast medium concentration b(t) and reach an Ernst's angle at which a single intensity is at a maximum, a high-quality blood vessel image can be acquired even during a measuring period other than at an injected contrast medium concentration peak.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprises static magnetic field generating means for generating a static magnetic field in an imaging space, a gradient magnetic field generating means for generating a gradient magnetic field in the imaging space, high-frequency magnetic field generating means for generating a high-frequency magnetic field so as to induce nuclear magnetic resonance in a subject placed in the imaging space, signal receiving means for detecting a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the subject, signal processing means for reconstructing an image by using the detected nuclear magnetic resonance signal, display means for displaying the image, a table for placing the subject thereon to dispose the subject in the imaging means, and table moving means for moving the table on which the subject is placed. While moving the portions to be imaged of the subject continuously or stepwise in the imaging space and disposing the subject, a whole-body image of a large region of the subject is created. The magnetic resonance imaging apparatus further comprises means for detecting information on the displacement of the subject from a desired position and setting means for setting movement information on the table according to the displacement information. The table moving means moves the table according to the movement information set by the setting means to capture the whole-body image.
