Abstract:
A method for automatic inline detection and wafer disposition includes the following steps. An exposure process is performed to wafers in an exposure apparatus. A virtual inspection is performed based on log files of the exposure process. A wafer automatic disposition is performed according to a result of the virtual inspection. An automatic inline detection and wafer disposition system includes a first computer system coupled to an exposure apparatus and a second computer system coupled to the first computer system. The exposure apparatus is configured to perform an exposure process to wafers, and the first computer system is configured to perform a virtual inspection based on log files of the exposure process. The second computer system is configured to receive a result of the virtual inspection and perform a wafer automatic disposition according to the result of the virtual inspection.
