摘要
Macroscopic defects on a wafer are caused by contamination, inhomogeneous resist-thickness, scratches etc. Many of these defects can be observed directly by human eyes rather than through a microscope. In many lithographic processes visual inspection by human operator is performed on all wafers; after the developing process. Tt is called a "macro inspection". However a macro inspection takes skill of detecting defects, because defects can be found under some conditions. We have been developing a new inspection system to replace operator-inspection with instrument-inspection for consistency in results. This system is constructed by a defect detecting technology and an image processing technology.
