Abstract
Disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit fabricating method of a semiconductor fabricating device which includes a processor executing a defect detection module includes receiving, at the defect detection module, a first capture image of the semiconductor integrated circuit and a first layout image, generating, at the defect detection module, a second layout image from the first capture image, generating, at the defect detection module, a contour image from the first capture image and the second layout image, detecting, at the defect detection module, a defect of the semiconductor integrated circuit based on the first layout image and the contour image, analyzing, at the semiconductor fabricating device, a correlation between a kind of the defect and process variations of the semiconductor integrated circuit, and changing, at the semiconductor fabricating device, at least one process variation having a correlation with the defect from among the process variations.
