Abstract:
An optical inspection tool used to detect surface defects of a substrate include a chuck for holding a substrate and a lens unit disposed over the chuck. The lens unit includes at least a pair of oblique beam paths therein, wherein light penetrating the beam paths travels without angular deflection. The beam paths take the form of spaces formed through the lens unit, or flat portions formed on a lens within the lens unit. A camera is installed on the lens unit, and the camera converts light passing through the lens unit into an image. Methods of detecting surface defects of the substrate using the inspection tool are also provided.
