    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating defect samples are provided. One method includes identifying a set of defects detected on a wafer having the most diversity in values of at least one defect attribute and generating different tiles for different defects in the set. The tiles define a portion of all values for the at least one attribute of all defects detected on the wafer that are closer to the values for the at least one attribute of their corresponding defects than the values for the at least one attribute of other defects. In addition, the method includes separating the defects on the wafer into sample bins corresponding to the different tiles based on their values of the at least one attribute, randomly selecting defect(s) from each of two or more of the sample bins, and creating a defect sample for the wafer that includes the randomly selected defects.

    Abstract: In an inspection apparatus, inspection is carried out by linearly moving a wafer while rotating the wafer with respect to light. In a case where the wafer is rotated, the velocity of flow of air in outer regions of the wafer is increased, and there is a possibility that the flow of the air in the outer regions cause particles contained in an atmosphere in the vicinity of the wafer to be adhered to the wafer. In a case where such particles are adhered to the wafer, the particles are also detected as a defect, and therefore yields and cleanliness in a semiconductor production process cannot be correctly evaluated. Therefore, it is desirable that adhesion of the particles contained in the atmosphere in the vicinity of the wafer to the wafer be reduced as much as possible. Further, it is expected that, when, for example, rotation speed of the wafer is increased or a diameter of the wafer is increased, such particles are adhered further remarkably. This point has not been satisfactorily considered in the conventional arts. The invention has a feature that a conductor such as a draft to outer regions is supplied from above a substrate while the substrate is being rotated and the supplied conductor is exhausted on outside of the substrate.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for and method of measuring bio-chips, which can implement an illumination method of a novel type that illuminates a bio sample (which may be also referred to as a “bio specimen”) through a side face of a substrate using a diffusion plate to form an evanescent field by the illumination light over the entire surface of a substrate so as to uniformly secure brightness of the illuminated light over a wide area of a substrate, thereby more efficiently measuring fluorescence information of a bio-chip over a wide field of view.
