  • Patent number: 8546154
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to inspect a defect of a substrate. Since a recess of an under layer of a substrate is darker than a projection of a top layer, a ratio of a value of a secondary electron signal (of an SEM) of the under layer to a value of the top layer may be increased to improve a pattern image used to inspect an under layer defect. Several conditions under which electron beams are irradiated may be set, and the pattern may be scanned under such conditions. Secondary electron signals may be generated according to the conditions and converted into image data to display various pattern images. Scan information on the images may be stored with positional information on the substrate. Each of scan information on the pattern images may be calculated to generate a new integrated image.

  • Patent number: 8126258
    Abstract: In a method of detecting defects in patterns and an apparatus for performing the method, a first image of a detection region on a semiconductor substrate may be acquired. A second image may be acquired from the first image by performing a Fourier transform and performing a low pass filtering. The second image may be compared with a reference image so that the defects of the detection region are detected. Existence of the defect of the second image is determined using a relation value between a grey level of each of pixels of the second image and the reference image, respectively. When a defect exists, the horizontal and the vertical positions of the pixel where the relation value is minimum are combined to determine the position of the defect.

    Abstract: In a method of detecting defects of patterns on a semiconductor substrate and an apparatus for performing the method information on positions of reference defects influencing an operation of a circuit including the patterns when the patterns are formed on the semiconductor substrate is acquired in advance. Preliminary defects of the patterns formed on the semiconductor substrate are detected. Positions of the preliminary defects of the patterns are compared with positions of the reference defects. The preliminary defects having the positions substantially the same as the positions of the reference defects are set to be defects of the patterns so that the actual defects are detected.

  • Patent number: 8050488
    Abstract: In a method of analyzing a wafer sample, a first defect of a photoresist pattern on the wafer sample having shot regions exposed with related exposure conditions is detected. A first portion of the pattern includes the shot regions exposed with an exposure condition corresponding to a reference exposure condition and a tolerance error range of the reference exposure condition. The first defect repeatedly existing in at least two of the shot regions in a second portion of the pattern is set up as a second defect of the pattern. A first reference image displaying the second defect is obtained. The first defect of the shot regions in the first portion corresponding to the second defect is set up as a third defect corresponding to weak points of the pattern. The exposure conditions of the shot region having no weak points are set up as an exposure margin of an exposure process.

  • Patent number: 8034640
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to inspect a defect of a semiconductor device. The amount of secondary electrons generated due to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) may depend on the topology of a pattern of a semiconductor substrate. The amount of secondary electrons emitted from a recess of an under layer is far smaller than that of secondary electrons emitted from a projection of a top layer. Since the recess is darker than the projection, a ratio of a value of a secondary electron signal of the under layer to a value of a secondary electron signal of the top layer may be increased in order to improve a pattern image used to inspect a defect in the under layer. To do this, a plurality of conditions under which electron beams (e-beams) are irradiated may be set, at least two may be selected out of the set conditions, and the pattern may be scanned under the selected conditions.
