Abstract

A wafer inspection method, wherein a motorized chuck stage is controlled by a control rod to be displaced between an upper position and a lower position along Z-axis direction, to change a relative position of a wafer on the motorized chuck stage relative to a probe. The control rod is movable between an upper and an lower limit positions. The wafer inspection method includes: determining a position of the control rod based on a measurement signal; determining a first moving direction and a moving distance of the control rod based on a change of the measurement signal; generating a control signal based on the moving distance of the control rod; controlling the motorized chuck stage to be displaced along a second moving direction opposite to the first moving direction; and controlling an objective lens module to keep focusing on the wafer when the motorized chuck stage is on the move.
