To provide an inspection method of a circuit pattern and its device capable of rapidly processing an image of a circuit pattern as an inspection object on the basis of the accurate information of a monitor screen upon inspecting the image of the circuit pattern through the monitor screen, and capable of rapidly detecting defects over an entire product or defects in a specific region.
The inspection method of the circuit pattern detects any defect on the circuit pattern from an inspection image obtained on the basis of a signal generated from the substrate by the irradiation of electromagnetic waves or charged particle rays on a substrate surface on which the circuit pattern of a wafer is formed. In the method, at least before or after the inspection image is obtained, an electron beam is irradiated on a corresponding part of the inspection image to change the charged state of the wafer.
