Method and inspection device for the mask. [Prior Art] A Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (hereinafter referred to as TFT-LCD) is compared with a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) because it is easy to be thinner and consumes less power. The rapid development of the large-scale and large-scale development. The TFT_lcd has a schematic structure in which a TFT substrate having a structure in which TFTs are arranged in a matrix and arranged in a matrix, and a color filter corresponding to a pixel pattern of red, green, and blue in each pixel are stacked with a liquid crystal phase interposed therebetween. In the manufacture of a TFT-LCD, as with the manufacture of an LSI, a lithography step using projection exposure technology is necessary. The reticle used as a mask when performing the projection exposure is formed on a transparent substrate, and is patterned to form an exposure transfer pattern including a light transmitting portion and a light shielding portion (including a semi-transparent The situation of the Ministry). It is necessary for the transfer pattern to be correctly positioned to a specific position with respect to the specific coordinates of the design. The correctness of the positional relationship is proportional to the finer and higher resolution of the pattern, and is required to have a higher degree of correctness. The S-transfer pattern is usually formed on a blank mask having a light-shielding film and/or a semi-transmissive film (hereinafter referred to as a film) on the surface of the light-transmitting substrate to form a resist film, and becomes a blank mask with a resist film. After the transfer pattern is drawn by the energy beam such as laser or electron beam 144255.doc 201027238, the resist pattern is formed by etching using the developed resist pattern. In the drawing step, 'the blank mask with the resist film is held on the pedestal, and the pattern to be drawn is stored as a design drawing data on the computer, and the position of the light irradiation position and/or the position of the pedestal is controlled based on the design drawing data. Green. Here, it is considered that it is necessary to expose the transfer pattern formed by the drawing, the development by the resist, the etching of the thin film, and the transfer pattern specified by the user of the mask to the design drawing data. The printed pattern is correct and consistent. Further, the pattern to be transferred onto the object to be transferred (device such as a liquid crystal panel) using the mask must satisfy the specifications required by the user of the mask. When pattern transfer is performed using a photomask that does not satisfy this condition, a large number of defective devices are manufactured. For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 7-273160 (Patent Document No.) discloses a method of evaluating a mask pattern, and is directed to a photomask manufactured, a transfer pattern actually formed, and a transfer pattern shown by design drawing materials. In the Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-512551 (Patent Document 2), a method of describing a surface writing pattern used in an exposure apparatus, which has a blank mask of thickness T, is described. It is placed on the pedestal of the drawing machine (drawing device), and the slope of the surface of each measuring point is measured by (4)H, and the two-dimensional local low-deflection offset d' in the XY plane of each point is calculated using the two-dimensional local offset d [Invention] According to Patent Document 1, although the evaluation of the entrance pattern is possible, the transfer pattern formed on the 144255.doc 201027238 mask is not transferred by the exposure transfer to the transfer target. Its coordinate accuracy is improved. Further, in Patent Document 2, the exposure system or the like is a method of writing a pattern to an object in such a manner as to be irrelevant to all physical deformations generated when a pattern is written, but the difference is not considered and the difference is different from the edge step or the exposure step. In the method of Patent Document 2, it is difficult to form a photomask having a pattern having sufficient precision with respect to the design drawing data, because of the difference in the physical deformation of the object in the step. ® Here, the s stomach "design profile data" is the design pattern data reflecting the pattern shape of the device to be obtained. In order to provide a method of manufacturing a photomask, an inspection method, and an apparatus, the present invention can produce a pattern of an electronic device such as a TFT with higher precision in the manufacture of an electronic device such as an LSI or an LCD. Usually, the blank photomask film surface placed in the state of the drawing machine is not ideally planar, and is deformed by various kinds. Furthermore, the factor of deformation when the blank mask is placed in the drawing machine is different from that of the mask when the exposure is completed. That is, the film surface which is deformed from the plane which is ideal as described above is drawn, and when the mask pattern surface formed is changed to a shape different from that at the time of drawing, a desired pattern determined by the design drawing material occurs. , can not be properly transferred to the transfer body. The inventors of the present invention analyzed in detail the causes of the deformation of the surface shape of the blank mask when placed on the pedestal of the drawing machine, and clarified the causes of the deformation and the residual deformation of the residual mask when the mask was used in the exposure apparatus. In addition, it is considered that the coordinates of the coordinates caused by the disappearance of the exposure are corrected, and the descriptive data is obtained by modifying the data of the 144255.doc 201027238. When using the tracer to draw the pattern on the blank light army with the photoresist sword, the empty mask is placed on the pedestal of the ▲ edge machine with the film facing up. At this time, the surface shape of the blank mask surface is deformed from the ideal flat surface, and it is considered that: (!) the insufficient flatness of the pedestal, and (2) the substrate due to the foreign matter on the pedestal (7) Concavities and convexities on the surface of the substrate of the blank mask (sentences due to deformation of the back surface of the substrate), that is, the deformation of the surface shape of the blank mask in this state is accumulated by the above four factors Then, the blank mask of the state is depicted. On the other hand, when the photomask is used in the exposure apparatus, the transfer body is formed to be formed by the film facing the lower support end. Under the light, the exposure light is irradiated from the mask. In this state, the four openings V are due to the insufficient flatness of the tidy (1) pedestal and (7) the substrate caused by the inclusion of foreign matter on the pedestal. (4) The unevenness on the back surface of the substrate remains in this state, but the surface shape of the back surface on which the pattern is not formed has no effect on the transfer of the surface (pattern forming surface). On the other hand, (3) f Surface of the substrate of the white mask When the reticle is used in the exposure apparatus, it is also a residual deformation factor. When the reticle is placed on the exposure machine, the end portion is deflected by the weight of the reticle, and the deflection component can be used. It is generally believed that the compensation method of each exposure machine does not have a good influence on the transferability. Accordingly, in the above example, the measurement film is placed on the upper side of the blank mask in a state where the film is placed on the pedestal of the interposer. For the surface shape, for the surface shape, (1), (2), and (4) become the part of the ideal plane from the surface shape 144255.doc 201027238. If the surface shape change portion is not reflected in the above-mentioned repair, a photomask having a more accurate transfer performance of the coordinate design data will be obtained. When the above surface shape is measured, the latter _ ',1, Ί尔曰力The anti-(4) upper crucible is peeled off when there is no cover, but because of the influence on the coordinate accuracy caused by the deformation factors based on (1) to (4), the film thickness of the anti-(4) is extremely small (usually _~1000 nm or so). Change It is smaller, so there is no obstacle even if it is measured from the surface of the resist film. That is, the manufacturing method of the photomask of the present invention includes a financial step, and the above-described striking step is applied to a film including a transparent substrate and the transparent substrate. On the blank reticle of the photoresist film on the thin medium, the profit machine irradiates the energy beam according to a specific characterization, and the (10) fixed turn (4) case; and, by calculating the aforementioned financial steps The shape of the film surface side of the blank mask in the case of the shape change portion of the film surface side of the white mask when the mask is exposed, based on the calculated shape change portion, corrected for forward return Specific transfer (four) line metering data, (4) to drawing data. Furthermore, the shape change part mentioned here may not include the deflection caused by the self-weight of the mask when the mask is placed on the exposure machine. Ingredients. ^ Because the _, _ of the coordinate deviation of the pattern due to the deflection is performed by the method of mounting on the exposure device, it is not considered. "This is in the case of seeking-depicting green data. 'The manufacturing method of the photomask of the present invention includes the step of drawing. The first step is 144255.doc 201027238. The steps are based on the thin substrate and the transparent substrate. On the blank mask of the photoresist film on the film, the energy beam is irradiated by the specific (10) data by the edge finder, and the specific transfer pattern is traced and the blank mask is used by the user. The surface of the film is placed on the pedestal of the drawing machine, and the blank surface height distribution data obtained by measuring the height distribution of the surface on the upper side of the blank light army and the film surface shape data of the blank mask previously obtained are obtained. 'Correcting design drawing materials for the specific transfer pattern described above, thereby obtaining the aforementioned specific drawing materials. ❹ The method of manufacturing the light army of the present invention comprises the steps of: preparing a blank reticle comprising a transparent substrate, a film on the transparent substrate and a photoresist film on the film; and the blank reticle having the film The step of loading the upper side on the pedestal; obtaining the blank surface height distribution data by measuring the height distribution of the upper surface of the blank reticle on the pedestal; by using the previously obtained blank reticle The film surface shape data and the blank surface height distribution data, the step of correcting the design data for the specific transfer pattern to obtain the specific trace data; and the description of the photoresist medium The specific drawing data illuminates the energy beam to depict the aforementioned specific transfer pattern. In the above-described manufacturing method of the light army of the present invention, the design of the data is better than the difference between the blank surface height distribution data and the film surface shape data. For example, 'the step of subtracting the aforementioned film surface shape data from the blank surface height distribution data may be included. Further, in the above-described method of manufacturing the photomask of the present invention, the correction of the design drawing data can be obtained by using the difference between the blank surface height distribution data and the film surface shape data to obtain 144255.doc • 8 - 201027238

Alternatively, the difference data obtained by obtaining the difference between the blank surface height distribution data and the film surface shape data may be used based on the slope of the height direction of the blank mask in the plurality of positions on the surface of the blank mask. The thickness of the blank mask is corrected by modifying the drawing coordinate system of the drawing machine. That is, in the present invention, the "correction of designing the data" does not only include the case of correcting the design description material itself, but also the case where the same effect is obtained by correcting the drawing coordinate system of the material feeder. Further, the step of etching the film may be further included as a mask in which a resist pattern obtained by drawing the transferred transfer pattern is used as a mask. Further, the drawing device of the present invention is characterized in that a specific transfer pattern is drawn on a blank mask having a photoresist film formed on the surface thereof, and includes a height measuring mechanism which is disposed by measuring the photoresist film facing upward. a height distribution of the surface of the blank mask on the pedestal to obtain a blank surface height distribution data; and an operation mechanism, which uses the film surface shape data of the blank mask previously obtained and the blank surface height distribution data, Correcting the juice drawing data for the specific transfer pattern described above to obtain a specific green data; and drawing means for irradiating the energy beam to the photoresist film in accordance with the specific drawing data. Here, the correction of the design drawing data, as described above, in addition to the case of correcting the design drawing material itself, also includes the case of correcting the drawing coordinate system when drawing with the design drawing data. The drawing device having the mechanism (computing mechanism) for correcting the coordinate system is improved by 144255.doc -9- 201027238. In addition, the method for inspecting a photomask of the present invention is to inspect a photomask including a transfer pattern of a thin film on a transparent substrate, and includes: placing the photomask on the upper side of the surface having the transfer pattern a step of obtaining a mask surface height distribution data by measuring a height distribution of a surface of the upper surface of the reticle on the pedestal; and measuring a shape of the transfer pattern of the reticle on the pedestal to obtain a step of patterning the length data; and modifying the pattern length measurement data or the design drawing data for the transfer pattern by using the film surface shape data of the mask obtained in advance and the mask surface height distribution data. For example, the method includes the steps of correcting the pattern length measurement data by using the mask surface shape data of the mask obtained in advance and the mask surface height distribution data, and comparing the corrected pattern length measurement data with the design drawing data. Alternatively, the method of correcting the design drawing data and the pattern length measuring data after the correction of the design drawing data by using the mask surface shape data of the mask obtained in advance and the mask surface height distribution data may be used. As the above-mentioned film surface shape data used at this time, the film surface shape data of the above-mentioned mask portion can be approximated. Furthermore, the inspection apparatus for a photomask of the present invention is for inspecting a photomask including a transfer pattern formed by a thin film on a transparent substrate, and may include: a height measuring mechanism that determines the transfer pattern by measurement a height distribution of the surface of the reticle disposed on the pedestal to obtain a height distribution of the mask surface; and a length measuring mechanism for determining a shape of the transfer pattern of the reticle on the pedestal to obtain a pattern For measuring the length of the data; and the computing mechanism, the 144255.doc •10· 201027238 is to use the advance film, the film shape data of the mask and the mask surface distribution data, and correct the pattern test Long material or design data for the aforementioned transfer pattern. For example, an inspection apparatus including a photomask includes: an arithmetic unit that corrects the pattern length measurement data by using the mask surface shape data of the mask obtained in advance and the mask surface height distribution data; and comparing The organization compares the corrected pattern length measurement data with the aforementioned design depiction data. Further, an inspection apparatus including a reticle includes: an arithmetic unit that corrects the design drawing data by using the film surface shape data obtained by Hi and the mask surface height distribution data; and comparing The institution compares the revised design drawing data with the aforementioned pattern length measuring data. In the method for manufacturing a photomask according to the present invention, the surface shape of the film surface side of the blank mask in a state of being placed on the pedestal of the drawing machine is measured, and the blank mask is formed from the ideal plane of the surface shape. In the state in which the mask is formed and placed in the exposure apparatus, the design margin data is corrected in accordance with the change in the surface shape change. In other words, in the case of the deformation of the ideal plane of the film surface shape during the drawing, the part remaining in the exposure (the unevenness of the film surface) and the portion which disappears during the exposure (the deflection of the substrate due to the foreign matter, etc.) It is equivalent to the coordinate deviation correction design drawing data of the disappearance portion at the time of exposure, and the specific drawing data is obtained. Accordingly, when the mask is used, the transfer pattern transferred onto the transferred body will be correctly reflected. The design of the device pattern is described.

The design of the transfer pattern shape is described and the data is created. For example, the depiction creating mechanism 15' is based on the information showing the change in the surface shape of the white mask 13 from the film surface shape data height measuring mechanism 12 of the blank mask 13, and the shape data of the blank mask 13 obtained in advance. The design drawing data is corrected, and the drawing data drawn by the drawing mechanism 11 is created. Furthermore, as described above, the correction of the depiction data can be performed not only when the correction data is created, but also the correction of the aforementioned data by the trace coordinate system of the edge cutter. Both the edge-striking mechanism U and the height measuring mechanism 12 can be moved in the yaw direction and the y-direction to the pedestal 10, and can be displayed in a plane parallel to the pedestal. Instead of this, it is also possible to provide a fixed drawing mechanism u and a height: a mechanism for moving the pedestal 10 in the parent direction and the 丫 direction in parallel with the mechanism 12', and may also have a material feeding mechanism and the like in the pedestal direction, and A mechanism that moves in a direction to move the rider to a desired position on the pedestal by relative (4). Figure 2 is a diagram of the pedestal of the green earthquake. For example, the surface perpendicular to the surface of the cover: the cover 13 is enlarged and thinly arranged on the table: the shape of the space due to the complex number as described above, and the shape of the shape is changed from the ideal plane, and the following is measured by height using FIG. The mechanism 12 is a method for explaining the deformation of the surface shape of the blank mask 13 on the measuring station (4) 144255.d〇c -13. 201027238. The surface of the blank mask 13 in the case of an ideal plane without deformation is the reference surface 21. Specific In the fixed point 22, the height is measured by the height measuring means 12, and the measurement is repeated at a specific interval Pitch. The difference between the height ^ reference surface 21 measured by the height measuring means 12 is used as the blank surface height distribution data. When the distribution data and the measurement point of 0 (that is, the measurement point whose height is coincident with the reference surface gate) are adjacent to the measurement point, the blank surface height distribution data is Η, and the surface of the blank mask 13 is The angle Φ' Φ formed by the reference surface 21 is sufficiently small, and the following expression is expressed by: sinO = H / Pitch · (1) and the slope of the foregoing. H/Pitch can also consider the height direction of the blank mask surface.Further, if the value of Φ is sufficiently small, it can be approximated as: 0 = H / Pitch (Expression Γ) In the following description, (Formula 1) is used. In the above case, 'causes from the measurement of the height difference, The deviation d of the axis direction of the withering point can be obtained by the following formula: d=sin<E>xt/2=Hx(t/2Pitch) . . . ^ ^ 2) Again, the 'previously' if φ If it is sufficiently small, it can be approximated as: d=Oxt/2=Hx(t/2Pitch) ·.. (Expression 2') Here, t is the thickness of the blank mask. The above measurement is performed in the blank mask 13 In the upper direction & direction and y direction, the pitch is measured at a specific interval, thereby measuring the deviation of the measurement point caused by the change in the surface shape of each measurement point. 144255.doc 201027238 According to the above measurement results, As described above, it is considered that the G) pedestal 10 has insufficient flatness '(2) the bending of the substrate caused by the foreign matter on the pedestal 1 '' (3) the unevenness of the substrate surface of the blank mask 13 (4) The shape of the surface of the four blank masks of the blank mask 13 on the back surface of the blank mask 13 is changed from the ideal plane due to the height change. On the other hand, in the blank mask A use example of an exposure apparatus for transferring a photomask made of a specific transfer pattern is shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a conceptual diagram of an exposure apparatus. The photomask 30' supports both ends with a support 31, and the film surface 32 is downward. The transfer body 33 is disposed under the mask 3. The exposure light from the light source 34 is irradiated from the mask 30 and irradiated onto the object to be transferred via the mask 30. Further, the actual support is exposed. The reticle within the device flexes due to its own weight. However, the compensation mechanism for the deviation of the pattern of the deflection is mounted on the exposure device. In this state, as described above, since only the concave and convex portions of the substrate surface (media surface 32) of the blank mask 13 remain (3), (2), (2), and (4) disappear, the above-mentioned four deformation factors do not disappear. In response to the pattern formation, the shape of the film surface (pattern forming surface) at the time of drawing and exposure is changed to become the total of the above (1), (2), and (4), and the deviation from the pattern coordinates is also reversed. Some of them should be changed. Therefore, when the transfer pattern is drawn, the deviation of the above four deformation factors is caused by the deviation of (3), and it is only necessary to correct the design drawing data of the transfer pattern due to the deviation portions of (1), (7), and (4). In the present invention, it is effective to obtain in advance information on the surface unevenness of the substrate of the blank mask (the flatness data of the blank mask film surface). According to the i44255.doc -15· 201027238 state in which the blank mask is unobstructed, the blank mask is taken up, and the blank mask is measured and the surface of the blank is taken. And ask for it. The measurement can be carried out by a general optical measurement method. The height change of the measurement point (the difference between the height measured value and the reference surface) obtained by the measurement was taken as the film surface shape data. When the film surface shape data is %, the height variation due to (1), (7), and (4) is Η-Η, and the deviation due to (1), (7), and (4) can be obtained by the following formula according to the formula (2). d]=(H-Hi)xt/2Pitch · (Expression 3) In the drawing data creating unit 15, the design drawing data of the di correction transfer pattern is used to create a drawing material. The drawing means 11 is used to draw a transfer pattern on the photoresist film on the blank mask 13 based on the drawing data, and processing such as development is performed, whereby a specific transfer pattern can be transferred to the photoresist film on the blank mask 13. With the photoresist film as a mask, the film stack 4 is etched, and thus a mask can be obtained. (Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A glass substrate having a thickness of 13 mm ‘size 1220 mm>< 1400 mm was prepared, and a light-shielding film containing Cr as a main component was formed on the substrate by a film thickness of 1250 A to prepare a blank mask. The glass substrate is subjected to measurement of the surface shape of the light-shielding film formation surface at a predetermined interval by a normal optical measurement in a state of vertical erecting, and the film surface shape of each measurement point is obtained. The light-shielding film is formed by sputtering to form a cr〇 having anti-reflection function on the surface portion of the Cr film. Further, the surface shape of the film surface side of the blank mask may be measured as described above. 144255.doc -16- 201027238 The receiver will use a blank mask of a positive-type resist film coated with a film-thick leg on the film of the capillary coater (4) to form a light-shielding film in the drawing device shown in FIG. The face-up configuration. The height of the blank surface height distribution data of each measurement point is obtained by the height measurement of the height (4) of the drawing (4). The defect is performed at the same point as the surface shape measurement performed vertically. The height variation difference of each measurement point is obtained, and the diagram of the knife cloth is represented by a three-dimensional graph as shown in Fig. 4

In Fig. 4, the region of the region mi is a variation of the height Η-Η% μιη~1〇 μιη. Similarly, the region of the river 2 is 〇μιη~5 μιη, the region 1^13 is _5 μιη~〇μιη, the region Μ4 is -10 μπι~-5 μιη, region]^15系_15 μιη~ _1〇μιη area. As is apparent from Fig. 4, in the vicinity of the center of the blank mask, the variation in the difference in height variation is small, and the change in the both ends in the y-axis direction becomes steeper. Next, in the blank mask, design drawing materials in which patterns are arranged at specific intervals are used, and the drawing is performed without correction. The deviation between the coordinate measurement result of the pattern and the design description data is shown in Fig. 5. In Fig. 5, the lateral direction is the X-axis direction and the longitudinal direction is the y-axis direction. In addition, the white circle is the actual measured data of the depiction, and the black circle is the data of s and β. As can be seen from Fig. 5, in the vicinity of the center of the blank mask, the deviation between the measured data and the design data is small, so the black circle portion is hardly left, but the two ends of the y-axis direction are large, so the black circle portion is relatively large. Ground residue. As described above, comparing Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, it is confirmed that the difference H-H丨 of the height change 144255.doc 201027238 obtained in Fig. 4 is related to the deviation of the self-designed drawing data of the actual measured data. Accordingly, when the transfer pattern is drawn, the deviation of the four deformation factors is caused by the deviation of the unevenness of the surface of the substrate of the blank mask 13 which remains when the mask is used in the exposure apparatus. The flatness of the pedestal 10, (2) the deflection of the substrate on which the foreign matter is interposed on the pedestal 10, and (4) the deviation of the unevenness of the back surface of the substrate of the blank mask 13, correcting the design and drawing data of the transfer pattern, and creating Depicting the data, it is confirmed that the deviation between the transfer pattern actually formed in the mask and the design trace can be reduced. Furthermore, the method of manufacturing the photomask described above can also be used in the inspection method of the photomask. In other words, in the pedestal 10 of the inspection machine (indicated by the symbol of the greening device shown in FIG. 1), the mask is placed on the film surface (pattern forming surface) upward, and the height measuring mechanism 12 is obtained in the same manner as described above. The mask height distribution data of the cover. The mask surface height distribution data, like the blank surface height distribution data, includes deformation of the surface shape due to four deformation factors from the ideal plane. Next, the length of the pattern shape of the mask is measured to obtain pattern length measurement data. The pattern length measurement data includes variations due to deformation of the surface shape of the four deformation factors. Further, the surface of the film surface of the reticle was placed in a state in which the reticle was vertically erected, and the film surface irregularities of the reticle were obtained as the film surface shape data. It can be done by a general optical measurement method. The film surface shape data is the same as that of (3) the deformation of the surface shape caused by the unevenness of the surface of the mask. The film shape data is obtained at the stage before the reticle is manufactured (the stage of the blank reticle substrate), and the film surface shape data can also be used. By subtracting the film surface shape data 144255.doc •18· 201027238 from the mask surface height distribution data, the pattern length measurement data is corrected using (Formula 3), and the actual use of the mask in the exposure apparatus can be calculated. Pattern shape. By comparing the modified pattern length measurement data with the design of the pattern, the actual deviation of the mask can be estimated, and the mask can be evaluated. For example, the photomask can be regarded as a good product only if the deviation is within a specific range. Alternatively, the design profile data of the pattern can be corrected by using (Formula 3) by subtracting the value of the film surface shape data from the mask height distribution data. The reticle can be evaluated by comparing the corrected sf drawing data with the aforementioned pattern length measuring data. Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the above embodiment, the laser beam is used as the drawing means of the drawing device. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be an energy beam such as an electron beam. Further, as a photomask, a light-shielding film is formed as a film, but a multi-step mask having a semi-transmissive film may be used in addition to the light-shielding film. In this case, the formation of the photoresist film, the step of striking, and the step of engraving are repeated only in accordance with the number of necessary transfer patterns. As a general rule, the reticle that has to perform the second or higher photolithography step is too light, and (4) the secondary patterning causes the alignment deviation to become a big problem. However, if the correction of the document (10) of the present invention is used for each of the plurality of stroke steps, it is preferable to expose the mask JU (four) and transfer the pattern of the transfer (four) to each other so that the alignment can be performed very accurately. When a blank mask having a plurality of light-shielding films formed on a substrate is subjected to a plurality of strokes, resist development, and a film (4) is finally formed into a mask having a desired rotation (fourth), the present invention can be applied to each drawing. Delineation method/drawing device. At this time, in the first drawing and the second drawing, since the deformation of the blank film surface is different, the correction of the drawing data is different. Then, as a result, one transfer pattern of the photomask formed by the 2-input drawing is formed, and a desired pattern is correctly formed on the transfer target. Further, the inspection method/inspection device of the present invention can also be applied to each inspection step. The materials, dimensions, processing steps, and the like of the embodiments are examples, and can be implemented in various modifications.
