摘要: A method for evaluating a semiconductor wafer includes detecting semiconductor wafer LPDs as an examination sample in two measurement modes, performing size classification of the LPDs, calculating a distance between detection coordinates and a relative angle in the two measurement modes, presetting determination criteria to determine each LPD as a foreign matter or killer defect in accordance with each classified size, detecting semiconductor wafer LPDs as an evaluation target in the two measurement modes, performing size classification of the LPDs as the evaluation target, calculating a distance between detection coordinates and a relative angle of the evaluation target, and classifying the LPDs detected on a surface of the evaluation target into the killer defect and the foreign mater based on a result of the calculation and the determination criteria. The method enables classifying all LPDs from which quantitative size information cannot be provided, into the killer defect and foreign matter.
