Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is considered that by reducing the resolution of each line sensor, the increase in its processing capacity can be suppressed, but this will directly lead to a decrease in the resolution of defect detection such as scratches on the surface of the object to be inspected.

Abstract

An appearance inspecting device for detecting a defect such as a scratch in the surface of an object to be inspected with an adequate resolution and judging the formed state of a film on the surface of the object while suppressing an increase of the throughput to an irreducible minimum. An appearance inspecting device comprises an imaging unit (20) having line sensors (22R, 22G, 22B) having different color sensitivities and a processing unit (50). The processing unit (50) has pixel data acquiring means (S14) for acquiring pixel gray-scale data with a first pixel density from the gray-scale signal from a reference line sensor and acquiring pixel gray-scale data with a second pixel density lower than the first pixel density from the gray-scale signals from the line sensors other than the reference line sensor. Information representing the state of the surface of the object is created from the pixel gray-scale data acquired with the first pixel density and that acquired with the second pixel density.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an appearance inspection device for inspecting the appearance of an object surface to be inspected, such as an outer peripheral end surface of a semiconductor wafer. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an inspection device (appearance inspection device) for detecting defects on the outer peripheral end surface of a semiconductor wafer has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). The inspection apparatus generates information indicating the state of the outer peripheral end surface of the semiconductor wafer, for example, image information representing the outer peripheral end surface, based on a density signal for each pixel obtained when the outer peripheral end surface of the semiconductor wafer to be inspected is scanned by a line sensor, and information indicating defects, scratches, foreign matter, etc. on the outer peripheral end face. According to such an inspection device, it is possible to det...
