Abstract

A method for identifying a wafer is provided, which includes the following steps. A marked frame is obtained from a wafer inspection picture. A gray scale index corresponding to the marked frame is calculated based on a gray scale value corresponding to each of multiple pixels included in the marked frame. The gray scale index indicates a proportion of pixels whose gray scale values are greater than a specified value. Whether a trace pattern in the marked frame is a scratch or a grain boundary is determined based on the gray scale index.
