Title:
DEFECT OBSERVATION DEVICE AND DEFECT OBSERVATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/092640
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a scheme for analyzing low magnification defect images and determining whether or not a defect detection method using cell comparison is applicable, if a defect detection method using cell comparison cannot be applied and the proportion transitioning to a defect detection method using die comparison increases, throughput may decrease even more than starting out with defect detection by a defect detection method using die comparison. The purpose of present invention is to carry out high precision defect detection with a stable throughput. In the present invention, the defect detection processing mode applied for detecting defects from the defect image is determined using a reference image, and defects are detected from the defect image by the defect detection processing mode that has been determined.
