Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Messung der Fehlerdichte und -verteilung

摘要

A method and apparatus for measuring a defect distribution comprising introducing a narrowed laser beam into an object to be observed, receiving scattering lights generated at the defect portions of the object by a photoelectric conversion element, and measuring automatically the density and density distribution of the defects inside the object on the basis of the output image data of the photoelectric conversion element.
