Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute a classification work smoothly, by displaying automatically an abnormal-part reference image list of the kind and the process relevant to a sample, based on the information provided from an abnormal-part detection device, when a defect or a contamination existing on a semiconductor substrate is observed and the kind thereof is determined. SOLUTION: A sample 1 inspected by an abnormal-part detection device 2 is conveyed to a stage 4 of an electron microscope device. Simultaneously, an inspection result detected by the abnormal-part detection device 2 is provided to a computer 6 of the electron microscope device through an information medium 5. The computer 6 executes alignment of the sample 1 relative to the stage 4, based on the alignment information included in the inspection result and the periphery of the sample 1. Thereafter, a visual field of the electron microscope is moved onto the coordinate where a defect or a contamination 11 exists, and an image of the defect or the contamination 11 and the attached information, such as the kind and the process of the sample 1 or the like, are displayed on an observation CRT 9.

[0005] The identification of the type of a defect or foreign matter is important for analyzing the cause of the defect or foreign matter. Misclassification or ambiguous classification hinders the identification of the exact cause. Therefore, the manager takes a representative image corresponding to each type of defect or foreign matter beforehand,
A classification instruction with the image photograph attached is created. When actually classifying, the worker attaches the classification instruction to the side of the device or places it near the device, and performs the classification work while comparing a typical image photograph corresponding to the type of defect or foreign matter with an image of the actual defect or foreign matter.
