    摘要: A method for analyzing metal contamination of a wafer comprises obtaining a contamination level of a first metal and a contamination level of a second metal for the wafer, obtaining a correction value by substituting the obtained contamination level of the second metal into a correlation equation, and obtaining a final contamination level of the first metal, by correcting the contamination level of the obtained first metal based on the correction value.

    摘要: Disclosed are a pin hole inspection apparatus and method for determining whether or not the vacuum-packed state of a Front Opening Shipping Box (FOSB) vacuum-packed with film paper is defective. The pin hole inspection apparatus includes a receiving unit configured such that the FOSB vacuum-packed with the film paper is received thereon and supported thereby, an adsorption unit vacuum-adsorbed onto a target part of the film paper, configured to surround the FOSB received on and supported by the receiving unit, so as to pull the film paper, a displacement measurement unit configured to measure a degree of swelling of the film paper pulled through the adsorption unit, and a processing unit configured to determine whether or not a pin hole is generated by comparing a measurement displacement value acquired through the displacement measurement unit with a pre-stored reference displacement value.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for analyzing a shape of a wafer. The method includes measuring external shapes of a plurality of wafers, detecting a first point having a maximum curvature in an edge region of each wafer from measured values acquired in the measuring the external shapes of the wafers, detecting a second point spaced apart from the first point in a direction towards an apex of a corresponding one of the wafers, measuring a first angle formed between a first line configured to connect the first point and the second point and a front side of the corresponding one of the wafers, forming a thin film layer on a surface of each wafer, measuring a thickness profile of the thin film layer, and confirming a wafer in which a maximum value of the thickness profile of the thin film layer is the smallest among the wafers.
