A method for detecting defects of wafer by wafer sort is introduced. In the method, a wafer sort testing apparatus is used to obtain a DTL or ADART result, wherein a plurality of repaired sites in a wafer is highlighted according to the DTL or ADART result. A plurality of physical locations of the repaired sites is then output. An analysis equipment is used to match the physical locations with a graphic data system (GDS) design layout coordinate of the wafer so as to generate a data correlating with defects at the repaired sites.
