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 9):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n previously analyzing the substrate before the selecting of the spatial resolution of the first optical device, wherein the previously analyzing of the substrate includes,\n emitting multi-wavelength light toward a second measurement area of the substrate using a second optical device and obtaining second wavelength-specific images, \n generating second spectrum data of respective pixels based on the second wavelength-specific images, \n extracting a spectrum of at least one second inspection area from the second spectrum data and previously analyzing the spectrum of the at least one second inspection area, and \n determining whether there is a region of interest, which requires detailed inspection, in the second inspection area in the previously analyzing of the substrate, and \n the region of interest is the first measurement area, wherein the spatial resolution of the first optical device is higher than a spatial resolution of the second optical device.
