Publication number: 20120080597Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ji-Young SHIN, Young-Nam Kim, Jong-An Kim, Hyung-Suk Cho, Yu-Sin Yang

Patent number: 8034640Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ji-Young Shin, Young-Nam Kim, Jong-An Kim, Hyung-Suk Cho, Yu-Sin Yang
