  • Patent number: 6545755
    Abstract: A micro-Raman spectroscopy system capable of making effective use of the unique analyzing capabilities of Raman spectroscopy and still capable of employing information about foreign materials obtained by a separate foreign material inspection system. The micro-Raman spectroscopy system uses a sample stage having a function of reproducing an image of a foreign material on a wafer under an optical microscope, based on positional information previously obtained from foreign materials by the separate foreign material inspection system. Furthermore, the micro-Raman spectroscopy system has a function of searching a built-in database for the substance of the foreign material on the wafer, using a Raman spectrum presently obtained from the foreign material. The system includes a Raman analysis optical system and a Raman spectrometer that are connected by optical fiber.
