摘要： In the detecting system for irradiating the electron beam and detecting the secondary electron thereof, an area of the detector is an important factor for high-speed detection. For the technique of the current electron optical system and detector, a detector of the area larger than a constant area is necessary and detection of 200 Msps or more by receiving limitation on the frequency inversely proportional to the area is substantially difficult. For example, for detection at 400 Msps under the condition that the required area is 4 mm square and the rate for 4 mm square is defined as 150 Msps, four discrete high-speed detectors of 2 mm square are arranged to amplify and then add the signals for A/D conversion. Otherwise, the secondary electron is sequentially inputted to the detector of 8 mm square with the secondary electron deflector, the secondary electron is detected at 100 Msps and arranged after the A/D conversion. In any case, the area of 4 mm square and rate of 400 Msps can be attained.

摘要： A method and apparatus for inspecting a pattern, a first image of a first area on a sample is acquired by imaging the first area formed as a first pattern, and the first image is memorized. A second image of a second area on the sample is acquired by imaging the second area formed as a second pattern which is to be the same as the first pattern. A defect of the first pattern is detected by acquiring a differential image between the first image and the second image. The detection of the defect includes processing the differential image by using information of brightness corresponding to both of the first image and the second image.

摘要： In a method of inspecting a defect and an apparatus thereof, an allowable range for a gradation value of a difference image is determined for each pixel from one pixel or less of position shift quantity between two images to be compared, a variation rate in a local gradation value of an image, and a representative value of the local gradation value. Then, by comparing the gradation value of the difference image with the allowable range determined for each pixel, a pixel, on which the gradation value of the difference image is within the allowable range, is judged to be an non-defective candidate and a pixel, on which the gradation value of the difference image is beyond the allowable range, is judged to be a defective candidate. This reduces the number of false information caused by mismatches attributed to an object to be inspected and an image detecting system, such as an infinitesimal difference in pattern configuration, a difference in the gradation value, a distortion of a pattern, and a position shift, thus making it possible to detect a more minute defect.
摘要翻译：在检查缺陷的方法和装置中，针对要比较的两个图像之间的位置偏移量的一个像素或更少的像素，针对每个像素确定差分图像的灰度值的允许范围，局部变化率图像的灰度值和局部灰度值的代表值。然后，通过将差分图像的灰度值与对于每个像素确定的容许范围进行比较，将差分图像的灰度值在允许范围内的像素判断为无缺陷候选和像素，其中差分图像的灰度值超出允许范围，被判断为缺陷候选。这减少了归因于待检查对象的失配和图像检测系统引起的错误信息的数量，例如图案配置中的无穷小差异，灰度值的差异，图案的失真和位置偏移，从而可以检测到更小的缺陷。

摘要： The present invention relates to detection of defects with simple specification of the coordinates, in the inspection of an object having a plurality of patterns in which a portion having the two-dimensional repetition and portions having the repetition only in the X direction and in the Y direction are mixedly present. The cross comparison between a notice point and comparison points, for example, which are repetitive pitches away from the notice point, is carried out, and only the portion having the difference which can be found out with any of the comparison points is extracted as a defect candidate, which results in that the portion having the two-dimensional repetition as well as the portion having the repetition only in the X direction or in the Y direction can be inspected. As a result, while the portion, such as an isolated point, having no repetition both in the X direction and in the Y direction is extracted as the defect candidate, the defect candidate is not treated as the defect in the case where the defect candidate of interest occurs regularly in a plurality of objects to be inspected, so that such a defect candidate is excluded to extract only a true defect.
