Even the minute defects mentioned above have a great influence on the quality of the conductor. For this reason, inspection for defects and the pursuit of inspection staff are essential in manufacturing, and inspection equipment is increasingly required. In this field, a configuration is adopted in which defects are inspected by irradiating the wafer with IIIK light, optically magnifying the diffusely reflected light generated at the defective location, and converting this into electrical sound IK. According to this device, defects in vases can be inspected in seconds! However, the number of defects that can be inspected is 1μ.
The defect is more than just a joke, and since only a vague defect image and the number of defects can be obtained using the Kosei-Tsuri magnification (Ill II mold mirror), it is difficult to obtain enough information to inspect the condition of the defect in detail. The problem is that it can't be done.
