Abstract
A monitor wafer is processed by a processing apparatus, and thereafter, it is subjected to an inspection in a foreign object inspection apparatus in accordance with an inspection recipe. A measured result obtained by the inspection is compiled and analyzed in a data management system. Generally, a monitor wafer is not assigned a rot name or a wafer name, however, the measured result is assigned an identification name for identifying plural processing apparatuses from one another, and is stored in a database as storage data.
