Abstract
A method of detecting a defect on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, including: a first etching step of etching a semiconductor substrate by a first etching amount; a first check step of applying a beam to the surface of the substrate underwent the first etching step, and detecting a first reflected beam; a second etching step of etching the substrate etched by the first etching amount, by an additional etching amount, to make the total etching amount a second etching amount; a second check step of applying the beam to the surface of the substrate underwent the second etching step, and detecting a second reflected beam; and a calculation step of calculating the relation between the first and second reflected beams.
