ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for inspecting a silicon wafer making it possible to identify and efficiently detect a new defect affecting a device fabricating process, a method for manufacturing a silicon wafer enabling manufacture of wafers not having the defect, a method for fabricating a semiconductor device using the silicon wafer not having this defect, and the silicon wafer not having the defect. When a silicon wafer is inspected, inspection is made for a defect having the entire defect size of 0.5 μm or more in which microdefects gather in a colony state.
