From this, even if the spatial filter 302 is not placed, if a process for invalidating a pixel to which a light ray conventionally shielded by the spatial filter 302 is incident after being received by the image sensor 116, a minute region corresponding to the microlens 410 is obtained. Thus, an effect equivalent to that of the spatial filter 302 can be obtained.
- the valid pixels 404 and 405 are indicated by white squares
- the invalid pixels 406 are indicated by black squares.
- the microlens array 117 and the image sensor 116 are shown one-dimensionally. Actually, however, the microlens array 117 has a microlens spread in a lattice shape, and the image sensor 116 is an area. It is a sensor. The portion indicated by three pixels in one row corresponding to the microlens 410 in FIG. 4 may be configured by the number of planar pixels that can practically express the spatial filter shape for each type of defect. Similarly, the microlens 411 and the pixels 407, 408, and 409 of the image sensor correspond to the point 301 on the wafer 101.
- the entire field of view on the wafer can be detected with N ⁇ N resolution, and the spatial filter can be detected with M ⁇ M resolution.
- the microlens array is configured by N ⁇ N, and the field of view of one microlens is imaged with M ⁇ M pixels.
- FIG. 21A of Patent Document 1 discloses the intensity distribution of the radially polarized (P-polarized) component and the azimuth-polarized (S-polarized) component of the scattered light from the wafer surface calculated using the scattered light simulation. ing.
- FIG. 5 is a total of the intensities of both, and is a simulation diagram of the light intensity distribution observed by the scattered light from the wafer. The higher the scattered light intensity, the more white it is drawn.
- FIG. 21B of Patent Document 1 discloses the intensity distribution of the radially polarized (P-polarized) component and the azimuth-polarized (S-polarized) component of the scattered light from a spherical foreign substance having a diameter of 18 nm.
- FIG. 6 is a summation of both intensities, and is a simulated diagram of a light intensity distribution observed by scattered light of a spherical foreign substance having a diameter of 18 nm. Like FIG. 5, the stronger the scattered light intensity, the more white it is drawn.
- FIG. 7 shows one of the light shielding plates of the spatial filter disclosed in FIG. 34 of Patent Document 1.
- the black part is the shielding part and the white part is the opening part. 7 and the light intensity distributions in FIGS. 5 and 6 are compared, most of the scattered light from the wafer in FIG. 5 is shielded by a spatial filter, and the scattered light from the spherical foreign material in FIG. The right half passes through the opening.
- most of the scattered light after passing through the spatial filter is from the spherical foreign matter, and the scattered light of the foreign matter can be extracted with high sensitivity from the scattered light from the foreign matter on the wafer.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 are observed in the cross section of the space between the objective lens 113 and the imaging lens 115 in FIG. 3, but when a spherical foreign substance having a diameter of 18 nm is present at a point 300 in FIG. Then, the light intensity distributions shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are generated on the image sensor corresponding to the microlens 410 shown in FIG. 4, and as a result, a light intensity distribution image corresponding to the target minute region can be obtained. .
- FIG. 8 is an image of the spatial filter of FIG. 7 with M ⁇ M resolution. This is a mask image, which is stored in the mask image data storage unit 202 of FIG.
- the pixel values shown in FIG. 8 are 0 for black and 1 for white. Since the image observed in the spatial section between the objective lens 113 and the imaging lens 115 is inverted vertically and horizontally on the image sensor, it is actually inverted vertically and horizontally in FIG.
- Mask processing is applied to the light intensity distribution image of the target minute region obtained through the microlens 410 shown in FIG. That is, the pixel corresponding to the black pixel in FIG. 8 in the minute region light intensity distribution image (hereinafter, minute region image) is set to 0, and the pixel corresponding to the white pixel retains the original pixel value (S902). Thereby, the effect similar to the shielding of the light by the conventional spatial filter can be acquired.
- the same process is performed on the minute area images corresponding to all the N ⁇ N microlenses, and the maximum brightness or the average maximum brightness including neighboring pixels is selected from the processed N ⁇ N minute area images.
- a micro-region image is selected (S905). Since the detection visual field of the present optical system is determined by an N ⁇ N microlens array, the position of the defect in the detection visual field can be specified by the position of the microlens corresponding to the minute region image having the maximum luminance (S908). ). However, round () in S908 represents the integer part of the result of division, and mod () represents the number of remainders.

- the defect coordinate position in the optical system visual field can be converted into the coordinates of the stage 104 and detected by the optical microscope 103. From the defect position, the defect can be located at the center of the field of view of the SEM 102.
- ⁇ Intensity distribution of scattered light varies depending not only on the type of defect but also the direction of the defect. Therefore, if a plurality of mask images are prepared corresponding to the direction of the defect, this can be dealt with. According to the method of the present invention, this can be realized by preparing in advance mask images for a plurality of types of defects and the directions of the plurality of defects, and performing mask processing on the detected minute region light intensity distribution image.
- Steps S1102 to S1108 are processing for the mask image (r), which is the same as that described in FIG. While recording the maximum luminance values MAX_VAL (r) and MAX_POSITION (r) (S1106), the process is repeated until all the masks are processed (S1110). When all mask processes are completed, the image number (max_r) having the maximum luminance is detected in steps S1111 to S1115 (S1113).
- the defect position in the detection visual field is specified from max_r (S1116).
- the method for specifying the defect position is the same as that described with reference to FIG.
- the maximum luminance value MAX_VAL (r) is recorded.
- the maximum luminance value to be recorded is normalized by the area of 1 of the mask image (the portion corresponding to the opening of the spatial filter), and the defect type.
- MAX_VAL (r) may be obtained by multiplying a predetermined coefficient every time, or the maximum luminance value obtained after normalizing the luminance value of the image after mask processing.
- the two detected by the SEM are used so that the property of the defect corresponding to the mask image number max_r for detecting the defect position, for example, the property such as unevenness, becomes obvious in the observation image of the SEM.
- an observation image is generated using a secondary electron image and a reflected electron image, it is possible to change image capturing conditions such as a mixing ratio of each image for each defect.
- FIG. 12 illustrates a procedure for correcting defect coordinates using the present optical system and collecting an SEM defect image with the SEM shown in FIG. 1, with reference to FIGS.

- the data is read by the unit 204, and the masking process and the process shown in S1100 of FIG.
- Some inspection apparatuses output not only the detected defect position coordinates but also information on defect characteristics. For example, if the defect feature information indicates in advance whether the defect is convex or concave, the mask image to be used may be changed for each defect and used.
- information for specifying the use mask image corresponding to the defect feature information is stored in the memory 123 in advance as a table. Then, when the defect coordinate data of the defect detected by the inspection apparatus described above is read into the memory 123, the defect feature information is also read.
