    Abstract: A defect detecting method includes generating an actual image of a pattern on a sample based on irradiation of an electron beam onto the sample, performing a contrast conversion of the actual image to generate a conversion image representing a normal pattern, matching the conversion image and a design image for the pattern, and detecting a defective pattern in the actual image based on matching of the conversion image and the design image. The contrast conversion may be performed for gray levels of pixels in the actual image.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a system for measuring the thickness of a thin film are provided. The apparatus includes a signal detector, a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) generator, an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) generator, and a thickness analyzer. The signal detector detects an electric field signal with respect to a reflected light that is reflected from a thin film. The FFT generator performs FFT with respect to the electric field signal to separate a DC component from an AC component of the electric field signal. The IFFT generator receives the separated AC component of the electric field signal, performs IFFT with respect to the AC component, and extracts a phase value of the AC component. The thickness analyzer measures the thickness of the thin film using the extracted phase value.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method of forming an epitaxial layer are provided. The apparatus includes a process chamber in which an epitaxial process is performed to form epitaxial layer on a substrate. A first supplier supplies source gases for the epitaxial layer into the process chamber. A second supplier supplies dopants into the process chamber. A detector detects a composition ratio of the epitaxial layer and a concentration of the dopants in the epitaxial layer during the epitaxial growth process. And a controller controls a mass flow of at least one of the source gases and a mass flow of the dopants in-line with the epitaxial growth process. Accordingly, the layer thickness of the epitaxial layer can be accurately controlled in real time in line with the epitaxial process.
