Abstract

See full text

An inspection method for a blanking device for multi-beams, for inspecting whether a separate blanking system of the blanking device is defective, includes, using the blanking device, measuring a value of current flowing from a power source for supplying voltage based on a difference between a first potential and a second potential to each of a plurality of separate blanking systems, in a state where the first potential is applied to a first electrode from a first potential applying unit and the second potential is applied to a second electrode from a corresponding second potential applying unit in at least one second potential applying unit in each of a plurality of separate blanking systems of the blanking device, and determining, when a measured current value is a finite value and equal to or below a preset threshold, that a separate blanking system where a short circuit has occurred exists.
