When performing a defect inspection of a wafer W, defect observation equipment 3 first inputs defect position data from defect detection equipment 2. After a plurality of measurement points are set, the amount of position shift between the detection coordinate system and the observation coordinate system is measured for each measurement point. Then, the defect observation equipment 3 creates a first-order defect position correction formula in order to make reasonable the defect position in the detection coordinate system, based on the position shift amounts of the measurement points. This first-order defect position correction formula has three terms, for the offset component, the magnification component, and the rotation component of the observation coordinate system with respect to the detection coordinate system. Next, using the defect position correction formula, a defect position detected by the defect detection equipment 2 is corrected. By this means, the resolution of the defect observation equipment is raised, and the precision of substrate defect inspection is improved.
