Abstract: A method for measuring a semiconductor device is provided. A method for measuring a semiconductor device includes defining an interest area and an acceptable area in a chip area on a wafer; performing a first measurement of the chip area with a spectral imaging device to acquire spectrum data of the chip area; assuming the distribution of the spectrum data of a first pixel in the acceptable area is a normal distribution; calculating a distance from a central point on the normal distribution to second pixels in the interest area; selecting a position of a second pixel having a distance from the central point on the normal distribution greater than a predetermined range, among the second pixels, as a candidate position; and performing a second measurement of the candidate position.

Abstract: A pulsed plasma analyzer includes a pulse modulator that controls an off-time of a pulsed plasma that includes a target radical, an optical spectrometer that measures optical emissions of the pulsed plasma after the off-time to determine optical emission data, and a concentration estimating module that estimates a concentration of the target radical during the off-time based on an initial optical emission value of the optical emission data that changes as a function of the off-time, and outputs an estimated concentration.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes: loading a substrate on a stage of an apparatus for inspecting the substrate; extracting a first light having a first wavelength from a light by using a light source; acquiring first position information on at least one focal point, formed on the substrate, based on the first wavelength by using a controller, the at least one focal point being a pre-calculated at least one focal point; adjusting a position of at least one from among an objective lens and at least one microsphere in a vertical direction by using the first position information in the controller; condensing the first light, which has passed through the at least one microsphere, on the at least one focal point formed on the substrate; and inspecting the substrate by using the first light condensed on the at least one focal point.
