    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable high-speed inspection of semiconductor wafers. SOLUTION: A plurality of independent, low cost, optical-inspection subsystems 30 are packaged and integrated to simultaneously perform parallel inspections of portions of the wafer 20. The wafer location relative to the inspection is controlled so that the entire wafer is imaged by the system of optical subsystems in a raster-scan mode. A monochromatic coherent-light source illuminates the wafer surface. A darkfield-optical system collects scattered light and filters patterns produced by valid periodic wafer structures using Fourier filtering. The filtered light is processed by general purpose digital-signal processors. Image subtraction methods are used to detect wafer defects, which are reported to a main computer 50 to aid in statistical process control, particularly for manufacturing equipment.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide various systems and methods for creating persistent data for a wafer and using persistent data for inspection-related functions.SOLUTION: One system includes a set of processor nodes 20 coupled to a detector 10 of an inspection system. Each of the processor nodes 20 is configured to receive a portion of image data generated by the detector 10 during scanning of a wafer 12. The system also includes an array 22 of storage media separately coupled to each of the processor nodes 20. The processor nodes 20 are configured to send all of the image data or a selected portion of the image data received by the processor nodes 20 to the arrays 22 of storage media such that all of the image data or the selected portion of the image data generated by the detector 10 during the scanning of the wafer 12 is stored in the arrays 22 of the storage media.
