Abstract

A method of inspecting a wafer comprising measuring an intensity of an incident light and storing the measurement as stored incident light intensity, irradiating the incident light to the wafer, measuring an intensity of a reflected light from the wafer and storing the measurement as stored reflected light intensity, and correcting the stored reflected light intensity based on a difference between the stored incident light intensity and a reference intensity of a reference incident light.
