ABSTRACT:
Methods wherein a partial region of a fine foreign matter which is detected first in a particle counter is detected again, observed, analyzed and evaluated by irradiating a spot of beam light to the region, observing a scattered light from a dark field or a dark part in the spot from a blight field, a coordinate of the analyzer being linked with a coordinate of the partial counter and registered in the analyzer. Thereby semiconductor devices or liquid crystal display devices are inspected accurately and immediately.
