    摘要: A semiconductor device manufacturing system is provided in which chip position information is read without removing resin from a package so that the cause of a failure can be quickly identified and removed and the yield of chips can be rapidly improved. A replacement address reading device reads redundancy addresses from a semiconductor device which is determined as faulty in a test performed after the semiconductor device has been sealed into a package. A chip position analyzing device estimates, from the combination of these redundancy addresses, a lot number, a wafer number and a chip number of the faulty semiconductor device. A failure distribution mapping device maps the distribution of faulty chips in each wafer in the lot based on these numbers thus obtained. A failure cause determining device identifies which manufacturing device or processing step has caused the failures in the wafer process based on the above distribution.

    摘要: An X-ray projection exposure apparatus includes a mask chuck, a wafer chuck, an X-ray illuminating system, and an X-ray projection system. The masks chuck holds a reflection X-ray mask having a mask pattern thereon. The wafer chuck holds a wafer onto which the mask pattern is transferred. The X-ray illuminating system illuminates the reflection X-ray mask, held by the mask chuck, with X-rays. The X-ray projection optical system projects the mask pattern of the reflection X-ray mask onto the wafer held by the wafer chuck with a predetermined magnification. The mask chuck includes a mechanism for generating static electricity for attracting and holding the reflection X-ray mask by an electrostatic force. The invention also includes a device manufacturing method using such an X-ray projection exposure apparatus to transfer a mask pattern onto the wafer using the X-ray projection exposure apparatus.
