The invention provides a standard component for calibration that enables a calibration position to be easily specified in order to calibrate accurately a scale factor in the electron-beam system, and provides an electron-beam system using it. The standard component for calibration is one that calibrates a scale factor of an electron-beam system based on a signal of secondary charged particles detected by irradiation of a primary electron beam on a substrate having a cross section of a superlattice of a multi-layer structure in which different materials are deposited alternately. The substrate has linear patterns on the substrate surface parallel to the multi-layers and are arranged at a fixed interval in a direction crossing the cross section of the superlattice pattern, and the cross sections of the linear patterns are on substantially the same plane of the superlattice cross section, so that the linear patterns enable a position of the superlattice pattern to be identified.
