2. Description of the Related Art In the manufacture of semiconductor ICs, a large number of IC chips (hereinafter simply referred to as chips) having the same pattern are formed on a wafer made of a material such as silicon.
A foreign matter inspection is performed at this stage. The foreign matter inspection is performed by projecting a laser beam on the wafer surface and receiving the reflected or scattered light, but since scattered light is scattered from the pattern along with the foreign matter, it is necessary to distinguish them and detect only the foreign matter. , And is important. Various methods have been developed to adapt to this, and one of them is a method of comparing two chips adjacent to each other.

(b) in (c) shows the pixel data S a and S b consisting of the pattern P T of both chips and the pixel signals g n (n is a pixel number) for the foreign substances p 1 and p 2 , respectively. The value of the substrate surface K which does not exist is low and the pattern P T
Has a large value because it has a high reflectance. In addition, foreign matter p 1 , p 2
Pixel signal g of the above signal is projected above the data S b . As described above, since both patterns P T are the same, the pattern portions of both pixel data are almost the same, and the difference data (S
In b- S a ), this is almost erased, and difference data composed of the residual pattern R and the foreign matter p 1 and p 2 illustrated in (c) is obtained. The difference data is compared with the detection threshold value V th in the foreign matter detector 4d to detect only the foreign matter p 1 and p 2 .

The pattern P T of each chip 11 becomes thicker as the steps of the formation process progress, and is not limited to a simple wiring pattern.
It is formed by adding circuit components such as a capacitor. The pattern part where such circuit parts are formed is called the mat part, but this part has a large reflectance and the scattered light may be abnormally strong, which makes it difficult to detect foreign matter. is there. Therefore, the map display is not only useless, but also obstructs the observation of the map display of other parts. Therefore, it is desirable to erase the map display by using the mat portion having a high reflectance as a removal area. As a method, it is effective to set a large removal threshold value for the removal area to remove the foreign matter, and to set an appropriate detection threshold value separately set for other areas to detect the foreign matter. is there. However, it is not known in advance exactly where the removal area is on the chip and what the removal threshold is. The present invention has been made in view of the above, and a method of identifying a removal area by a preliminary test, making a removal threshold of a size that can remove the removal area, inspecting each chip, and erasing the map display of the removal area is provided. The purpose is to provide.

On the other hand, when the moving stage 2 on which the wafer is placed is moved under the control of the CPU 4e, its position is detected by the XY encoder 2a, and the position signal specifies the address of the map memory 5b and the above-mentioned addition data is specified. Stored in the address. (c) shows an example in which the addition data stored in the map memory is displayed three-dimensionally. The data in each memory M (i, j) undulates in a random manner, but there is a mountain-like high portion in it, and the height is very high because it is the sum of each pixel signal. This height is CP
It is checked by U4e, the area showing a certain value or more is specified as the removal area, and its height is set as the removal threshold V D. The position of the removed area is known from the address of the memory element. The address of the removal area and the removal threshold value V D obtained as described above are transferred to the RAM 5c and stored at the end of the test.
