摘要:
An inspection method, including: illuminating a light on a wafer on which plural chips having identical patterns are formed; imaging corresponding areas of two chips formed on the wafer to obtain inspection images and reference images with an image sensor; and processing the obtained inspection image and the reference image to produce a difference image which indicates a difference between the inspection image and the reference image and detect a defect by comparing the difference image with a threshold, wherein a threshold applied to a difference image which is produced by comparing the inspection image and the reference image obtained by imaging peripheral portion of the wafer is different from a threshold applied to a difference image which is produced by comparing the inspection image and the reference image obtained by imaging central portion of the wafer.
