The present invention provides a linear pattern detection method which can extract and detect linear patterns distinguished by a microscopic defect distribution profile even if skipped measurements are taken. The linear pattern detection method acquires a defect map created based on results of defect inspection of a wafer; divides the defect map into a plurality of first segments; calculates a correlation coefficient of a point sequence in each of the first segments, the point sequence corresponding to a defect group contained in the first segments; calculates a total number of those first segments in which the correlation coefficient is equal to or larger than a first threshold; and determines that the wafer contains a linear pattern if the total number is equal to or larger than a second threshold.

摘要:
A feature amount is generated by standardizing inspection data related to a fabrication unit for each type, a similar set including fabrication units corresponding to similar feature amounts is formed by comparing the feature amounts, and apparatus difference analysis is performed between a plurality of fabrication units forming the similar set. A two-level orthogonal table is used to determine whether to adopt a feature amount of each type, and some feature amounts are not used in the apparatus difference analysis and the like by optimizing the smaller-the-better characteristic or the larger-the-better characteristic of a test value of the apparatus difference analysis, thereby reducing the calculation amount and accurately and efficiently specifying an abnormality cause.

摘要:
A beam deflector for scanning performs deflecting of a charged particle beam having a regular trajectory in a vacuum space to thereby periodically change the trajectory of the charged particle beam. The beam deflector comprises a pair of deflection electrodes disposed so as to confront each inner electrode surface having a symmetrical concave extending in a direction of a beam trajectory.
