Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for inspecting a defect of a shape formed on a substrate. Primary inspection is sequentially performed on specific patterns in a plurality of divided regions of the substrate by using an optical method, and one or more regions on which secondary inspection is to be performed are selected from the regions. One or more defects are detected by performing the secondary inspection using an electron beam on the selected regions.
