Patent number: 7466405Abstract: An image of an inspection object pattern formed on a photomask is acquired, which is to be transformed into inspection object pattern data as input data of light intensity distribution simulation for finding light intensity distribution in which optical conditions of an exposure system used in pattern transfer are reflected. The light intensity distribution simulation is performed using the inspection object pattern data, and a difference between light intensity distribution of the inspection object pattern obtained by the light intensity distribution simulation and reference light intensity distribution is found. Inverse light intensity distribution simulation having reversibility to the light intensity distribution simulation is performed using the difference, to obtain difference pattern data determining a defect in the inspection object pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2005Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Satoshi Akutagawa, Kazuhiko Takahashi

Patent number: 6807654Abstract: From the region near the target pattern, patterns whose barycenter positions are not changed even if deformation is generated due to proximity effect or coarse-and-fine difference at the time of pattern forming are selected as alignment patterns, and the barycenter positions thereof are set as alignment reference coordinates. Rough alignment is carried out based on the reference position provided in a region other than the device forming region, thereby detecting the alignment pattern in the device forming region. Positioning is carried out such that the alignment reference coordinates of the alignment patterns and the center coordinates of the target pattern coincide with each other, and the target pattern is detected.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2002Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Satoshi Akutagawa, Yoshimasa Iiduka

Patent number: 6413688Abstract: In the method for inspecting plate patterns which are formed by exposure and development by use of exposure data patterns having a plurality of patterns, the method executes a fine pattern removal processing step, to a plurality of patterns included in the exposure data patterns, including a logical sum processing for changing a plurality of overlaid patterns into a sole pattern; a minus-sizing processing for fining a side of the patterns in a first width; and a plus-sizing processing for thickening the side of the patterns in the first width, thereby forming a reference data pattern. This fine pattern removal processing can remove the fine patterns acting as a cause of pseudo defect included in the exposure data patterns. In the following pattern inspection process, the plate pattern is compared with the reference data pattern, and the disagreement between both the patterns is detected as defective pattern.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2001Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Satoshi Akutagawa, Koujiro Suzuki

Patent number: 5889531Abstract: In a program storing unit (14), a dedicated processing program relating to at least one type of specific graphic data in the plurality of types of graphic data and a general purpose processing program which can deal with all of the plurality of types of graphic data are stored. A counting unit (16) counts the number of the specific graphic data included in the graphic data stored in the graphic storing unit. A processing unit (18) compares the counted number of the specific graphic data counted by the counting unit with a predetermined reference value. When the counted value is larger than or equal to the reference value, all of the graphic data are processed by the dedicated processing program, and the graphic data, which cannot be dealt with by the dedicated processing program, are processed by the general purpose processing program. When the count value is less than the reference value, all of the graphic data are processed by the general purpose processing program.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1997Date of Patent: March 30, 1999Assignees: Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd., Fujitsu Limited, Japan Nus Co.

Patent number: 5287290Abstract: A method and an apparatus for checking a mask pattern including a plurality of mask pattern regions formed based on different design pattern rules. The method includes the steps of: defining each of the mask pattern regions as a check object region; setting a defect detection reference corresponding to a respective design pattern rule of the mask pattern regions for each of the check object regions; and detecting presence or absence of defects in the mask pattern based on the respective defect detection reference for each of the check object regions. By these steps, it is possible to realize reduction in check time of the mask pattern and improvement in throughput of the checking apparatus, without necessitating discrimination processing of pseudo defects in the mask pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1992Date of Patent: February 15, 1994Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Katsuji Tabara, Satoshi Akutagawa
