Abstract: A method of inspecting a wafer includes performing a fabricating process on a wafer, irradiating broadband light on the wafer, such that the light is reflected from the wafer, generating a spectral cube by using the light reflected from the wafer, extracting a spectrum of a desired wafer inspection region from the spectral cube, and inspecting the desired wafer inspection region by analyzing the extracted spectrum.

Abstract: A method for nondestructive measurement of an underlying layer thickness includes irradiating, with a pump laser pulse, a sample to induce generation of an acoustic wave in the sample such that the acoustic wave propagates through the sample over time, where the sample includes a substrate, an underlying layer on the substrate, and an overlying layer on the underlying layer and the underlying layer is isolated from an exterior of the sample by at least the overlying layer, irradiating the sample with a probe laser pulse after irradiating the sample with the pump laser pulse, determining a reflectance variation of the sample over time, based on monitoring a variation of a reflection of the probe laser pulse from the sample over time, to generate a first graph showing a variation of reflectance of the sample over time, and determining a thickness of the underlying layer based on the first graph.

Abstract: A surface inspecting method includes: irradiating an incident light beam of a first polarized state on a target object, the incident light beam comprising parallel light and having a cross-sectional area: measuring a second polarized state of a reflected light beam reflected from the target object; and performing inspection on an entire area of the target object on which the incident light beam is irradiated, based on a variation between the first polarized state and the second polarized state.
