A method of inspecting a pattern formed on a substrate, comprising the steps of emitting an ultraviolet laser beam from a light source, polarizing the ultraviolet laser beam, scanning the polarized ultraviolet laser beam on a pupil of an objective lens, illuminating a sample with the polarized ultraviolet laser beam after the polarized ultraviolet light beam has passed through the objective lens, analyzing light reflected from the sample as a result of the illuminating step after the reflected light has passed through the objective lens, detecting an image of the sample formed by the analyzed light with a time delay integration sensor, outputting signals corresponding to the detected image of the sample from the time delay integration sensor in parallel, and processing the parallel signals outputted from the time delay integration sensor to detect a defect of a pattern on the sample.
