ABSTRACT:
For the analysis of scratches on semiconductor wafers, the semiconductor wafer surface is detected and a possible scratch position or a scratch course on the semiconductor surface is determined, in which case a parameter value identifying the scratch is determined from the scratch position and the scratch course and this parameter value that has been determined is correlated with comparison parameter values, which identify installation-specific scratch positions and scratch courses, in order to determine an installation causing the scratch.
