Abstract

An apparatus and method for inspecting polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si) that illuminates light onto protrusions in the Poly-Si in order to determine a distance between them using intensity and reflection angle of reflected light. The Poly-Si inspection apparatus includes a light source that illuminates light, and a reflected light detector for receiving reflected light, wherein a distance between protrusions is measured by an incident angle of the light illuminated into the protrusion from the light source, a detection angle of the reflected light detector, and a wavelength of the detected reflected light.
