Abstract:
Provided are a method of inspecting a surface and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The methods include preparing a substrate, selecting a spatial resolution of a first optical device by setting a magnification of an imaging optical system, emitting multi-wavelength light toward a first measurement area of the substrate and obtaining first wavelength-specific images, generating first spectrum data based on the first wavelength-specific images, generating first spectrum data of respective pixels based on the first wavelength-specific images, and extracting a spectrum of at least one first inspection area having a range of the first measurement area or less from the first spectrum data, and analyzing the spectrum. The first optical device includes a light source, an objective lens, a detector, and an imaging optical system. The obtaining first wavelength-specific images includes using the imaging optical system and the detector.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of inspecting a surface, the method comprising:\n preparing a substrate which is an inspection target; selecting a spatial resolution of a first optical device,\n the first optical device including a light source configured to emit light, an objective lens configured to transmit light received from the light source, a detector, and an imaging optical system configured to image light detected by the detector, \n the selecting the spatial resolution of the first optical device including setting a magnification of the imaging optical system; emitting multi-wavelength light toward a first measurement area of the substrate using the light source to emit the multi-wavelength light and the objective lens to transmit the multi-wavelength light received from the light source towards the first measurement area; obtaining first wavelength-specific images using the imaging optical system and the detector; generating first spectrum data of respective pixels based on the first wavelength-specific images; extracting a spectrum of at least one first inspection area having a range of the first measurement area or less from the first spectrum data; and analyzing the spectrum.
