    摘要： As circuit patterns become finer in recent years, improvement in detection sensitivity of defects is required. To answer this, sensitivity is being enhanced using a laser with a wavelength of the UV band as the laser for irradiation. A pulse oscillation laser is often used as the UV laser. However, a peak (maximum output) of the pulse oscillation laser becomes very large to an average output power required. For example, in the case of a laser of average output power 2 W, pulse interval 10 ns, and pulse width 10 ps, the peak (maximum output) becomes as high as 2 kW, and there is the possibility of causing a damage to a sample. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the peak (maximum output) with the average output power being maintained, so that it may not cause a damage to the sample. In this invention, the device is configured in such a way that pulsed light is optically divided into several pulses and these pulses are given respective paths whose lengths are set different from one another, whereby the peak (maximum output) is reduced while the average output value are maintained.

    摘要： A method and apparatus of detecting a defect by inspecting a specimen in which a surface of a specimen on which plural patterns are formed is illuminated with an elongated shape light flux from one of plural directions which are different in elevation angle by switching an optical path of the light flux emitted from an illuminating light source in accordance with a kind of defect to be detected. Plural optical images of the specimen illuminated by the elongated shape light flux are captured with plural image sensors installed in different elevation angle directions by changing an enlarging magnification in accordance with a density of the pattern formed on the sample in an area irradiated with the illuminating elongated shape light flux. A defect on the specimen is detected by processing the images captured by the plural image sensors.
