Abstract

According to embodiments, a wafer inspection device is provided. The wafer inspection device includes a porous chuck including a plurality of pores formed all over the porous chuck to allow pressure for fixing a wafer to be applied thereto, a chuck driving device, a back side inspection optical system configured to inspect a portion of a back surface of the wafer, and a position identification optical system, wherein the porous chuck includes a plurality of holes uniformly formed all over the porous chuck to partially expose the back surface of the wafer and a slit exposing the back surface of the wafer and extending in one direction parallel to a top surface of the porous chuck.
