- the Fourier image (that is, the image of the pupil plane of the objective lens 6) is picked up by the defect inspection of the present embodiment for the following reason. If an image obtained by directly imaging the pattern of the wafer W is used in the defect inspection, the pattern defect cannot be optically detected when the pattern pitch is less than the resolution of the inspection apparatus. On the other hand, in the Fourier image, if there is a defect in the pattern of the wafer W, the symmetry of the reflected light is lost, and the luminance, color, etc. of portions orthogonal to the optical axis of the Fourier image change due to structural birefringence. Therefore, even when the pattern pitch is less than or equal to the resolution of the inspection apparatus, it is possible to detect a defect (change) in the pattern by detecting the change in the Fourier image.

- the absolute value of the coefficient a corresponds to the reciprocal of the gradation change with respect to the change in the line width of the pattern (that is, the reciprocal of the detection sensitivity with respect to the change in the pattern). That is, when the absolute value of the coefficient a is small, the gradation change of the Fourier image is large even if the difference in line width is the same, so that the detection sensitivity to the change of the pattern is higher.
- step S260 the CPU 43 obtains a correlation error between the approximate expression obtained in step S259 and the line width of the pattern for each color component of R, G, and B in each divided region on the Fourier image. Specifically, deviation data between the line width of the pattern corresponding to each of the Fourier images FI 1 to FI n and the line width of the pattern calculated using the approximate expression are used as R, G, and B color components. The standard deviation is calculated for each color component of each divided region from the calculated deviation data, and the value is used as the correlation error.

Specifically, for example, each divided region is scored according to the small absolute value of the coefficient a and the small correlation error, and a highly sensitive divided region is selected based on the scoring result. decide. Even in this case, in order to detect a change in the line width or profile of the pattern with high sensitivity, it is necessary to determine which color of R, G, and B should be used and which divided region should be used in the Fourier image. Can do.
