Title:
SUBSTRATE DEFECT INSPECTION METHOD AND SUBSTRATE DEFECT INSPECTION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3691374
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate defect inspection method and a substrate defect inspection system that can grasp accurately how a defect occurred in a certain process affects the subsequent processes.
SOLUTION: After a certain process if completed, defects of a wafer W are detected by a defect detecting apparatus 2, and the defect positioning data is transferred to a defect observation apparatus 3. The defects of the wafer W are observed by the defect observation apparatus 3 based on the defect positioning data so as to identify defects, and the identified result is stored in a memory as an initial defect identification data. After the other process is completed, defects of the wafer W are observed so as to identify the defects again by the defect observation apparatus 3 based on the initial defect identification data.
