    摘要: A detector is provided to optically monitor the outer periphery of a wafer rotated by rotation of a rotary stage, so as to detect how much the center of the wafer placed on the rotary inspection stage is offset from the rotational center of the rotary stage as well as an angular position, on the stage, of a V-shaped notch formed in the wafer. From the detected eccentricity of the wafer, it is determined whether a precise positioning operation, using at least three positioning pins, to locate the center of the wafer at the rotational center of the rotary stage should be performed or not. When the detected eccentricity is so great as to necessitate the precise positioning operation, one of the positioning pins is caused to fit into the V-shaped notch of the wafer on the basis of the detected angular position of the notch and then the precise positioning of the wafer is performed using the other two positioning pins. In this manner, the wafer can be properly positioned so that the center of the wafer lies exactly at the rotational center of the rotary stage, using the at least three positioning pins.

    摘要: To speed up the pattern generator which is a bottleneck for speedup of an LSI tester, a continuous address control information for generating addresses for continuous pattern memory read is generated at a speed 1/N (N is an optional number larger than 1) times the operation speed of the continuous address generator, and the address controller is divided into a 1st and a 2nd address controller. The two controllers are connected via a buffer memory to ensure the normal operation when the correspondence between address control instructions and patterns to be continuously read is not 1:N. Continuous address information generated by the 1st address controller is stored in the buffer memory. The second address controller, which actually generates continuous addresses, receives the continuous address information from the buffer memory, outputs the addresses to the pattern memory at a speed N times of the operation speed of the 1st address controller, and receives the next continuous address information from the buffer memory once again when the continuous address generation is finished to repeat the operation mentioned above.

    摘要: Conventionally, a particle/defect inspection apparatus outputs a total number of detected particles/defects as the result of detection. For taking countermeasures to failures in manufacturing processes, the particles/defects detected by the inspection apparatus are analyzed. Since the inspection apparatus outputs a large number of detected particles/defects, an immense time is required for analyzing the detected particles/defects, resulting in a delay in taking countermeasures to a failure in the manufacturing processes. In the present invention, an apparatus for optically inspecting particles or defects relates a particle or defect size to a cause of failure in an inspection result. A data processing circuit points out a cause of failure from the statistics on the inspection result, and displays information on the inspection result. A failure analysis is conducted by setting a threshold for identifying a failure in each of regions on a semiconductor device or the like to statistically evaluate detected particles.
