    摘要: Provided is a charged particle beam device that prevents the increase in processing trouble caused by deterioration in the reviewing performance (e.g., overlooking of defects) by detecting an operation abnormality affecting the performance of the device or a possibility of such an abnormality in the middle of a processing sequence of a sample and giving a feedback in real time. In each processing step of the charged particle beam device, monitoring items representing the operating status of the device (control status of the electron beam, an offset amount at the time of wafer positioning, a defect coordinate error offset amount, etc.) are monitored during the processing sequence of a sample and stored as history information. In the middle of the processing sequence, a comparative judgment between the value of each monitoring item and the past history information corresponding to the monitoring item is made according to preset judgment criteria. When the width of fluctuation from the past history information deviates from a reference range, an alert is issued.

    摘要: In order to allow to easily specify inspection recipe with which defects desired to be detected can be detected efficiently, a defect inspection apparatus performs defect inspection of a substrate in accordance with a plurality of inspection recipes and produces defect information associated with position of defect in the substrate and attribute data of the defect for each of the inspection recipes and a defect review apparatus produces review result information specifying a kind of defect selected from defects contained in the defect information. An analyzing apparatus obtains defect information and review result information and totalizes the number of defects having attribute data similar to attribute data possessed in defects corresponding to kind of defects to be analyzed for each inspection recipe.

    摘要: A first object is to use both ADC (automatic defect classification) and MDC (manual defect classification) and reduce the amount of MDC operation. A second object is to prevent a DOI (defect of interest) from being missed.The first object is achieved by displaying judgment information on a screen. The judgment information is necessary when part of the classification is performed by ADC and part of the classification is performed by MDC and used to judge which classification is used, ADC or MDC. In the display operation, ADC classification results and MDC classification results are also displayed in the form of matrix. Further, a missed DOI rate is calculated for each classification threshold used in the defect classification and displayed on the screen.
