Abstract: In order to prevent an erroneous determination of an on-film defect, the sensitivity of the post-inspection is reduced so that a film swelling due to a minute defect would not be detected. Classification is performed to determine whether a defect is at least one of an on-film defect and a film swelling, by performing a coordinate correction on the result of a post-inspection by an actual-defect fine alignment using the result of a pre-inspection performed with two-stage thresholds, and by checking defects against each other. In addition, classification is performed to determine whether a defect is at least one of an on-film defect and a film swelling by, during the post-inspection, preparing instruction data from information of the refractive index and thickness of a film formed on a wafer and comparing the instruction data with a signal intensity ratio of a detection system.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of a film formation process in that a minute defect that an inspection before film formation (pre-inspection) has failed to detect becomes a larger film swelling due to film formation, and that, since the film swelling cannot be distinguished from an on-film defect, the film swelling is detected during an inspection after the film formation (post-inspection) as being an on-film defect that is on the film. In order to prevent the erroneous determination of the on-film defect, the sensitivity of the post-inspection has been reduced so that a film swelling due to a minute defect would not be detected.

Abstract: A system and method for determining measurement results of a dark-field inspection apparatus up to a microscopic area. A dark-field inspection apparatus is calibrated using a reference wafer having microroughness of an irregular asperity pattern accurately formed on a surface, and the microroughness of the surface having an ensured microroughness degree. This microroughness is measured by using an AFM, and an expected haze value is obtained based on the measured value. Then, haze of the surface of the reference wafer is measured by the dark-field inspection apparatus to be inspected to obtain an actually-measured haze value, and a difference between the expected haze value and the actually-measured haze value is obtained. Based on this difference, a haze measurement parameter of the dark-field inspection apparatus is adjusted so that the actually-measured haze value and the expected haze value match each other.

A dark-field inspection apparatus is calibrated using a bulk wafer as a reference wafer, the bulk wafer having microroughness of an irregular asperity pattern accurately formed on a surface, and the microroughness of the surface having an ensured microroughness degree. The microroughness can be more accurately formed by a chemical treatment with a chemical solution. This microroughness is measured by using an AFM, and an expected haze value is obtained based on the measured value. Then, haze of the surface of the reference wafer is measured by the dark-field inspection apparatus to be inspected to obtain an actually-measured haze value, and a difference between the expected haze value and the actually-measured haze value is obtained.

Abstract: Distortion models consisting of two forward and backward reciprocating planes that let a corrected image correspond to an uncorrected image for each scanning direction are constituted to let an uncorrected satellite image scanned by a reciprocating scanning sensor with scanning overlap or scanning underlap correspond to a corrected image after distortion correction, by means of a continuous mapping function on a 1:1 basis. It is determined whether each point on the corrected image is a point on an overlapping scan or on an underlapping scan or on a normal scan from the existence of a real point on the distortion models.

Abstract: A data input/output system is provided for transfer of data between a large capacity data source and a large-capacity memory. The data input/output control information is supplied from a processor. If the actual time between input/output information units from the large-capacity data source is shorter than that time determined by a program in the processor, an interruption signal is generated to be in time for the input/output timing of the next input/output data unit. The system permits continuous data transfer switching from one input/output data unit to the next input/output data unit without use of the program in the processor.
