摘要： A method and apparatus that accurately marks a wafer at selected locations such as a defect location on the surface of a wafer such that a wafer analysis system (e.g., SEM or AFM) may rapidly find the defect. The apparatus contains a wafer platen for retaining a wafer in a substantially horizontal orientation and a marking assembly mounted above the wafer platen. The marking assembly further contains an optical microscope and a marking head. In operation, a user locates a defect using the optical microscope and places a pattern of fiducial marks at a predetermined distance from the defect, e.g., four marks in a diamond pattern circumscribing the defect.

摘要： An automated method for aligning wafer surface scan maps and locating defects such as particle contaminant distributions on a wafer surface. More specifically, the invention is an automated method for locating added and removed contaminants and other defects on a semiconductor wafer surface after the wafer has undergone wafer-handling and/or processing. A second data set of a second scan of a wafer surface is misalignment-corrected to a first coordinate system of a first scan of the wafer surface. Thereafter, a final match is made between a first data set of the first scan and the misalignment-corrected data of the second scan. Non-matching locations in the misalignment-corrected data of the second scan represent added defects on the surface of the wafer. Non-matching locations in the base data of the first scan represent removed defects from the surface of the wafer.

摘要： An optical inspection module detects defects on an active surface of a substrate in an integrated process tool system. The optical inspection module includes an enclosure, a substrate holder, a light source, a light beam path, a lens and a photodetector array. The light source has a light beam port. The light beam path extends from the light beam port to the substrate holder and has a grazing angle of incidence with respect to the active surface of the substrate. The light beam path illuminates substantially the entire active surface. The lens is oriented to collect non-secularly reflected light scattered from the light beam path by any defects on the active surface. The photodetector array has a plurality of pixels which are positioned within a focal plane of the lens. Each pixel corresponds to an area on the active surface, and the plurality of pixels together form a field of view that covers substantially the entire active surface.
