Abstract: A substrate inspection apparatus includes: a storage configured to store inspection image data obtained from a captured image of a periphery of a substrate on which a plurality of films is formed, and an inspection recipe; and an edge detector configured to detect a target edge as an edge of an inspection target film among the films on the basis of the inspection image data stored in the storage by using the inspection recipe stored in the storage. Each of edges of the films extends along the periphery of the substrate. The inspection recipe is configured by combining parameters each of which has one option specified among a plurality of options.

Abstract: A substrate inspection method includes a first process of taking, while rotating a holding table where a reference substrate is held, an image of an end surface of the reference substrate; a second process of obtaining shape data on the end surface of the reference substrate by processing the image; a third process of taking, while rotating the holding table where a target substrate is held, an image of an end surface of the target substrate; a fourth process of obtaining shape data on the end surface of the target substrate by processing the image; and a fifth process of calculating a warpage amount of the target substrate by obtaining a difference between the shape data obtained in the second process and in the fourth process under a condition that a rotational position of the holding table in the first process coincides with that in the third process.

Abstract: A laser processing device includes a height measurement unit configured to measure a vertical direction position of an irradiation point of a processing laser beam on an upper surface of a substrate; and a controller configured to control a vertical direction position of a light condensing unit based on the vertical direction position of the irradiation point while moving the irradiation point along multiple dividing target lines. The height measurement unit includes a coaxial laser displacement meter and a separate-axis laser displacement meter. The controller controls the vertical direction position of the light condensing unit by using only one of the coaxial or the separate-axis laser displacement meter for each of the multiple dividing target lines while the substrate is processed and performs a switchover of a laser displacement meter for controlling the vertical direction position of the light condensing unit between the coaxial and the separate-axis laser displacement meters.

Abstract: Defects of substrates are inspected when executing a job in which a treatment recipe for substrates and the substrates being treatment objects are designated to perform predetermined treatments on the substrates. An imaging step successively images substrates. A first determination step decomposes, in order from the substrate as head of the job, a planar distribution of pixel values in a substrate image captured at the imaging step into pixel value distribution components using a Zernike polynomial, calculates Zernike coefficients of the pixel value distribution components corresponding to defects to be detected, and determines presence or absence of a defect based on the calculated Zernike coefficients. A second determination step determines, from predetermined timing after one or more substrates is determined to have no defect at the first determination step, presence or absence of a defect based on the substrate image determined to have no defect at the first determination step.
