Method for inspecting wafer defects of a semiconductor device

摘要

Disclosed is a method for inspecting defects of a wafer of a semiconductor device, wherein the wafer is set up with reference coordinates for a respective die so that inspection time is reduced and the defects are classified by the respective die. The method may be carried out by a defect analysis system comprising an inspection station for inspecting defects of the wafer and a review station for precisely re-inspecting defects. The method includes the steps of: providing the respective die with a serial number, the plural dies being formed on the wafer; and setting up coordinates for a plane of the respective die based on one edge of the die as reference point.
