Inspection method, apparatus, and system for a circuit pattern in which when various conditions which are necessary in case of inspecting a fine circuit pattern by using an image formed by irradiating white light, a laser beam, or a charged particle beam are set, its operating efficiency can be improved. An inspection target region of an inspection-subject substrate is displayed, and a designated map picture plane and an image of an optical microscope or an electron beam microscope of a designated region are displayed in parallel, thereby enabling a defect distribution and a defect image to be simultaneously seen. Item names of inspecting conditions and a picture plane to display, input, or instruct the contents of the inspecting conditions are integrated, those contents are overlapped to the picture plane and layer-displayed, and all of the item names are displayed in parallel in a tab format in the upper portion of the picture plane of the contents. When a desired item name is clicked, the picture plane is switched and the contents corresponding to the clicked item name are displayed.

摘要:
A hydraulic circuit cleaning apparatus has a hydraulic circuit that includes an oil pump, an oil passage to which the oil pressure ejected from the oil pump is supplied, and a pressure regulator device connected to the oil passage for regulating the oil pressure in the oil passage. The apparatus cleans the hydraulic circuit by using a cleaning liquid. A discharge oil passage is connected to a discharge port of the pressure regulator device, so that the cleaning liquid is discharged out of the hydraulic circuit via the discharge oil passage.

A shift control system for a continuously variable transmission, in which a road load on a vehicle is detected, the lower limit speed is set according to the detected road load, in which a target input speed, as set according to the running state of a vehicle, is restricted with the set lower limit speed, and in which the gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is controlled so that the actual input speed may be equal to the target input speed restricted. The target input speed is restricted after the actual input speed is more than the lower limit value, when the road load is light, and said target input speed is restricted irrespective of the actual input speed when the road load is heavy.

Method and apparatus of detecting, analyzing and evaluating the content of foreign matters such as dusts and impurities contained in various materials, units, processes and environment standing for constituting components of a mass production line during mass production start-up and during mass production, in order to manage a semiconductor production process. A mass production off-line system including an apparatus for detecting, analyzing and evaluating the content of foreign matters during the mass production start-up is separated from the production line and installed independently thereof. Monitors for detection of foreign matters are provided at necessary locations in the production line and monitor data is evaluated through various units to manage the content of foreign matters in the production line, permitting efficient and economical mass production start-up and mass production. The kind of element of a foreign matter on sampling wafer detected in the mass production line is analyzed by means of STM/STS and the results are compared with a data base to effect identification. A foreign matter or a contaminant is detected by detecting a scatttered beam, of a light spot which scans the surface of a substrate. The detection of the scattered beam is carried out under the condition that Rayleigh scattering of the light spot on the light spot irradiation and reflection paths and Rayleigh scattering of the scattered beam on the scattered beam detection path are suppressed to a minimum. For the suppression of Rayleigh scattering, a low-pressure or low-temperature atmosphere may be used.
