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 11):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n preparing a substrate including an alignment mark; selecting a spatial resolution of an optical device,\n the 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 optical device includes setting a magnification of the imaging optical system; \n emitting light toward an area in which the alignment mark is formed using the light source and the objective lens; obtaining images using the optical device; and aligning the substrate based on the images,\n the aligning of the substrate includes checking a position of the alignment mark of the substrate based on the images, and \n moving the substrate so that the alignment mark is aligned with preset coordinates.
