    • A method and apparatus for detecting foreign matter on a sample by illuminating a stripe-shaped region with linearly polarized light. Some of the light reflected by the sample is intercepted by a light intercepting stage, and the rest of the light reflected by the sample, which passes through the light intercepting stage is directed to a detecting optical system, to be detected by a photo-detector. The sample is illuminated obliquely at a predetermined angle with respect to a group of straight lines constituting a primary pattern on the sample. The angle is selected so that the diffraction light reflected by the group of straight lines does not enter the detecting optical system. A polarizing spatial filter using a liquid crystal element may be disposed in a predetermined restricted region in a spacial frequency region, or Fourier transformation plane, within the detecting optical system. The light scattered by the sample may further be separated in the detecting optical system into partial beams having different wave orientation characteristics, which characteristics are detected by a number of one-dimensional solid state imaging elements. The signals are processed by a driver, adder, and quantizer in synchronism with the one-dimensional solid state imaging elements.

    • In a near-field scanning microscope using an aperture probe, the upper limit of the aperture formation is at most several ten nm in practice. In a near-field scanning microscope using a scatter probe, the resolution ability is limited to at most several ten nm because of the external illuminating light serving as background noise. Moreover, measurement reproducibility is seriously lowered by a damage or abrasion of a probe. Optical data and unevenness data of the surface of a sample can be measured at a nm-order resolution ability and a high reproducibility while damaging neither the probe nor the sample by fabricating a plasmon-enhanced near-field probe having a nm-order optical resolution ability by combining a nm-order cylindrical structure with nm-order microparticles and repeatedly moving the probe toward the sample and away therefrom at a low contact force at individual measurement points on the sample.

    • To effectively utilize the polarization property of an inspection subject for obtaining higher inspection sensitivity, for the polarization of lighting, it is necessary to observe differences in the reflection, diffraction, and scattered light from the inspection subject because of polarization by applying light having the same elevation angle and wavelength in the same direction but different polarization. According to conventional techniques, a plurality of measurements by changing polarizations is required to cause a prolonged inspection time period that is an important specification of inspection apparatuses. In this invention, a plurality of polarization states are modulated in micro areas in the lighting beam cross section, images under a plurality of polarized lighting conditions are collectively acquired by separately and simultaneously forming the scattered light from the individual micro areas in the individual pixels of a sensor, whereby inspection sensitivity and sorting and sizing accuracy are improved without reducing throughput.
