Abstract:
An image processing device for removing a noise having directionality in a first direction from an image containing the noise without affecting information on minute shading of luminance of the image, including: a high-pass filter unit configured to perform filtering processing on an image containing a noise having directionality in a horizontal direction with a high-pass filter in the horizontal direction; a low-pass filter unit configured to perform filtering processing on the image in a vertical direction with a low-pass filter; and an addition unit configured to add an image processed by the high-pass filter unit and an image processed by the low-pass filter unit.

Abstract:
In a semiconductor inspection method using a semiconductor inspection device, by selecting an incident energy and a negative potential and scanning an inspection surface of a wafer with primary electrons to detect secondary electrons, a first inspection image is acquired, and a macro defect, stacking faults, a basal plane dislocation and a threading dislocation contained in the first inspection image are discriminated by image processing based on a threshold value of a signal amount of the secondary electrons determined in advance. Moreover, by selecting the incident energy and a positive potential and scanning the inspection surface of the wafer with primary electrons to detect the secondary electrons, a second inspection image is acquired, and a threading screw dislocation of a dot-shaped figure contained in the second inspection image is discriminated by image processing based on a threshold value of a signal amount of the secondary electrons determined in advance.
