    摘要: An apparatus for measuring contamination of a semiconductor substrate includes a chuck for loading a substrate, a position detection means for recognizing a front surface of the loaded substrate to obtain position data of a portion of the substrate to be measured, a first driving part for moving the chuck in accordance with the position data to measure a rear portion of the substrate, and a surface measurement means disposed under the chuck for selectively measuring metal contamination of the substrate at the rear portion of the substrate. In operation, the substrate is loaded onto a chuck, position data of a portion of the substrate to be measured is obtained by recognizing patterns formed on the substrate, the substrate is then moved in accordance with the position data to measure a rear portion of the substrate, and metal contamination is selectively measured at the rear portion of the substrate.

    摘要: In a method and an apparatus for inspecting a wafer surface, a wafer is loaded into a chamber. An incident light including a first light for sensing a vertical position of the wafer and a second light for inspecting the wafer surface is irradiated onto the wafer. The first light is reflected on an inspection region or a next inspection region of the wafer and is detected to control a wafer position. The second light is scattered on the inspection region and is detected to inspect the wafer surface of the inspection region. Position information of a wafer is examined and a position of the wafer is adjusted before inspecting a surface of inspection region of a wafer so as to enable accurate inspection of the wafer surface.

    摘要: In a method for inspecting a defect in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an object is divided into a plurality of regions. Reflectivity of each of the plurality of regions is obtained. Amplification ratio for each region is determined using the reflectivity. A light is irradiated onto the regions. A light reflected from a first region is amplified by a first amplification ratio that is determined for the first region. Moving the irradiated light from the first region to a second region is detected. A light reflected from the second region is amplified by a second amplification ratio that is determined for the second region. The amplified lights from the first region and the second region are analyzed to determine an existence of a defect on the object.

    摘要: In a method and an apparatus for inspecting defects on a substrate using a light beam, a light source irradiates light beams having different wavelengths onto the substrate. A detector detects first lights scattered from a surface of the substrate and second lights scattered from impurities on the substrate by irradiation of the light beams. An operation unit compares first intensities of the first lights with second intensities of the second lights in order to produce differential values therebetween, and selects a wavelength corresponding to a maximum value of the differential values. An inspection process for inspecting the defects on the substrate is performed using a light beam having the selected wavelength.
