Abstract:
A method of inspecting a specimen, including: emitting a light from a lamp of a light source; illuminating a specimen on which plural patterns are formed with the light emitted from the light source and, passed through an objective lens; forming an optical image of the specimen by collecting light reflected from the specimen by the illuminating and passed through the objective lens and a image forming lens; detecting the optical image with a TDI image sensor; and processing a signal outputted from the TDI image sensor and detecting a defect of a pattern among the plural patterns formed on the specimen, wherein the image detected by the TDI image sensor is formed with light having a wavelength selected from the wavelengths of the light emitted from the light source.
Abstract:
A pattern detection method and apparatus thereof for inspecting with high resolution a micro fine defect of a pattern on an inspected object and a semiconductor substrate manufacturing method and system for manufacturing semiconductor substrates such as semiconductor wafers with a high yield. A micro fine pattern on the inspected object is inspected by irradiating an annular-looped illumination through an objective lens onto a wafer mounted on a stage, the wafer having micro fine patterns thereon. The illumination light may be circularly or elliptically polarized and controlled according to an image detected on the pupil of the objective lens and image signals are obtained by detecting a reflected light from the wafer. The image signals are compared with reference image signals and a part of the pattern showing inconsistency is detected as a defect so that simultaneously, a micro fine defect or defects on the micro fine pattern are detected with high resolution. Further, process conditions of a manufacturing line are controlled by analyzing a cause of defect and a factor of defect which occurs on the pattern.

Abstract:
A CPU controls a shutter of a developing device so as to enable movement of a developer between a first chamber and a second chamber that store the developer. The CPU rotates a developing roller and mixers of the first and second chambers for a predetermined time T, and stirs and conveys the developer. Thereby, the developer is moved from the first chamber into the second chamber. The amount of movement of the developer is understandable from the rotational speed and shape of each mixer. Hence, the amount of developer, which is moved from the first chamber to the second chamber, is estimated in advance, and about half the developer in the first chamber is replaced.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus comprises an image carrier which retains an electrostatic latent image corresponding to an original image, a developing device which sticks a toner to the electrostatic latent image to develop a toner image on the image carrier, an intermediate transferrer to which the toner image on the image carrier is transferred, a secondary transfer roller which transfers the toner image on the intermediate transferrer onto paper, and a cleaning member which cleans the secondary transfer roller. The secondary transfer roller can move to a first position to contact the intermediate transferrer, and to a second position to be separated from the intermediate transferrer, and the secondary transfer roller contacts the cleaning member at the second position.
