Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the working environment information of the wafer inspection station in real time and extract real-time working environment characteristic data, including real-time temperature, real-time humidity and real-time cleanliness data. Then, the above data is processed to obtain the working environment compliance index, and the index is compared with the preset value. According to the comparison results, it is judged whether the working environment meets the requirements. If not, these working environment characteristic data are adjusted accordingly.

Then, the above data is processed to obtain the working environment compliance index, and the index is compared with the preset value. According to the comparison results, it is judged whether the working environment meets the requirements. If not, these working environment characteristic data are adjusted accordingly.
