Title:
EXAMINATION METHOD AND EXAMINATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/073604
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, light from a light source is projected onto a mask via a high-resolution optical system, and high-resolution optical image data is obtained. In addition, such light is projected onto the same mask via a low-resolution optical system, and low-resolution optical image data is obtained. The design data of a mask pattern is corrected so that reflected in the design data are the mask-pattern shape and dimensions stipulated by a manufacturing process for a mask and/or a manufacturing process for a semiconductor device manufactured by transferring a mask pattern onto a semiconductor substrate. From the corrected design data, generated are reference image data items which respectively correspond to the high-resolution optical image data and the low-resolution optical image data. By referencing the information of a fault in the low-resolution optical image data, a determination is made as to whether a fault detected in the high-resolution optical image data is a genuine fault or a pseudo fault.
