<p>DEFECT DETECTION METHOD OF SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER PATTERNS A method of detecting opaque defects on a reticle used to define die patterns during semiconductor device fabrication in which a comparison is made of reflected light levels between an image die containing the developed photo-sensitive resist of a top layer with a reference die which contains only previously formed layers. The comparison is limited to areas of the device where there is no image pattern formed by the resist. A defect is detected whenever there is a difference in the recorded levels detected during the comparison.</p> |
