Abstract

A substrate inspection apparatus for detecting a condition of an EBR line at a substrate edge, comprising a turntable for rotating a substrate having a film coated thereon, a light irradiator and a photoelectric converter that receives specularly reflected light from the substrate and outputs a captured image signal. A two-dimensional image is generated by adding detection values of electrical signals corresponding to one radial scan from a center of the substrate for one turn of a rotator, and a changing point is judged using a judgment band set along one direction of the two-dimensional image.
