    摘要： The present invention provides a dual-beam apparatus which employs the dark-field e-beam inspection method to inspect small particles on a surface of a sample such as wafer and mask with high throughput. The dual beam apparatus comprises two single-beam dark-field units placed in a same vacuum chamber and in two different orientations. The two single-beam dark-field units can perform the particle inspection separately or almost simultaneously by means of the alternately-scanning way. The invention also proposes a triple-beam apparatus for both inspecting and reviewing particles on a sample surface within the same vacuum chamber. The triple-beam apparatus comprises one foregoing dual-beam apparatus performing the particle inspection and one high-resolution SEM performing the particle review.

    摘要： An inspection method includes the following steps: identifying a plurality of patterns within an image; and comparing the plurality of patterns with each other for measurement values thereof. The above-mentioned inspection method uses the pattern within the image as a basis for comparison; therefore, measurement values of the plurality of pixels constructing the pattern can be processed with statistical methods and then compared, and the false rate caused by variation of a few pixels is decreased significantly. An inspection system implementing the above-mentioned method is also disclosed.

    摘要： A multi-beam apparatus for observing a sample with oblique illumination is proposed. In the apparatus, a new source-conversion unit changes a single electron source into a slant virtual multi-source array, a primary projection imaging system projects the array to form plural probe spots on the sample with oblique illumination, and a condenser lens adjusts the currents of the plural probe spots. In the source-conversion unit, the image-forming means not only forms the slant virtual multi-source array, but also compensates the off-axis aberrations of the plurality of probe spots. The apparatus can provide dark-field images and/or bright-field images of the sample.

    摘要： A method of classifying the defects on a wafer having some same chips and corresponding system is provided. After receiving images formed by scanning the wafer using a charged particle beam, these images are examined such that both defective images and defect-free images are found. Then, the defect-free images are translated into a simulated layout of the chip, or a database is used to provide the simulated layout of the chip. Finally, the defects on the defective images are classified by comparing the images with the simulated layout of the chip. The system has some modules separately corresponds to the steps of the method.

    摘要： A method for measuring critical dimension (CD) includes steps of: scanning at least one area of interest of a die to obtain at least one scanned image; aligning the scanned image to at least one designed layout pattern to identify a plurality of borders within the scanned image; and averaging distances each measured from the border or the plurality of borders of a pattern associated with a specific type of CD corresponding to the designed layout pattern to obtain a value of CD of the die. The value of critical dimensions of dies can be obtained from the scanned image with lower resolution which is obtained by relatively higher scanning speed, so the above-mentioned method can obtain value of CD for every die within entire wafer to monitor the uniformity of the semiconductor manufacturing process within an acceptable inspection time.
