    摘要: An apparatus and method to inspect a defect of a substrate. Since a recess of an under layer of a substrate is darker than a projection of a top layer, a ratio of a value of a secondary electron signal (of an SEM) of the under layer to a value of the top layer may be increased to improve a pattern image used to inspect an under layer defect. Several conditions under which electron beams are irradiated may be set, and the pattern may be scanned under such conditions. Secondary electron signals may be generated according to the conditions and converted into image data to display various pattern images. Scan information on the images may be stored with positional information on the substrate. Each of scan information on the pattern images may be calculated to generate a new integrated image.

    摘要: A wafer inspecting method including the steps of: multi-scanning a pattern image of a unit inspection region in a normal state and a pattern image of a unit inspection region to be inspected, respectively, using different inspection conditions; comparing the multi-scanned pattern images in the normal state with the multi-scanned pattern images to be inspected obtained by the same inspection conditions, and storing differences between the pattern images as difference images; generating a discrimination difference image by calculating a balance between the stored difference images; and discriminating a defect from noise by using the discrimination difference image.

    摘要: A method of classifying defects of an object includes irradiating multi-wavelength light onto the object, splitting light reflected from the object into light beams, each of the light beams having different wavelengths, obtaining image information of the object based on each of the light beams, forming a characteristic matrix that represent the wavelengths and the image information, and analyzing the characteristic matrix to determine types of the defects on the object. Thus, the defects may be accurately classified using a difference between reactivity of each of the defects in accordance with variations of the wavelengths and inspection conditions.

    摘要: An apparatus and method to inspect a defect of a semiconductor device. The amount of secondary electrons generated due to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) may depend on the topology of a pattern of a semiconductor substrate. The amount of secondary electrons emitted from a recess of an under layer is far smaller than that of secondary electrons emitted from a projection of a top layer. Since the recess is darker than the projection, a ratio of a value of a secondary electron signal of the under layer to a value of a secondary electron signal of the top layer may be increased in order to improve a pattern image used to inspect a defect in the under layer. To do this, a plurality of conditions under which electron beams (e-beams) are irradiated may be set, at least two may be selected out of the set conditions, and the pattern may be scanned under the selected conditions. Thus, secondary electron signals may be generated according to the respective conditions and converted into image data so that various pattern images may be displayed on a monitor. Scan information on the pattern images may be automatically stored in a computer storage along with positional information on a predetermined portion of the semiconductor substrate. When calculation conditions are input to a computer, each of scan information on the pattern images may be calculated to generate a new integrated pattern image.
