6.4.2.1 Modes of CD Measurement
(1) Manual
Measurement
Distance (X, Y, D, width and pitch) between cursors placed by manual operation is
measured. An angle (T) between two cursor lines placed by manual operation is also
measured.
measured. An angle (T) between two cursor lines placed by manual operation is also
measured.
(2) Automatic
Measurement
The edges of specimens within a specified range are automatically detected and the
distance (X, Y, width and pitch) is measured. Either linear approximation method or
threshold level method is selectable for the edge detection.
