Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a recipe creation device, with the goal of using past recipe data in order to highly efficiently create recipes. As an embodiment with which to achieve this goal, there is provided a recipe creation device comprising an arithmetic processing device that, on the basis of design data for a semiconductor element, establishes measurement conditions or inspection conditions by a semiconductor measurement device or a semiconductor inspection device, wherein the arithmetic processing device is configured to be able to access a database in which the measurement conditions or inspection conditions, and the pattern information of the semiconductor element, are stored in associated form, and the measurement conditions or inspection conditions are selected through a search using pattern information of the semiconductor element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A recipe creation device comprising: an arithmetic processing device that, on the basis of design data for a semiconductor element, establishes measurement conditions or inspection conditions by a semiconductor measurement device or a semiconductor inspection device, wherein the arithmetic processing device is configured to be able to access a database in which the measurement conditions or inspection conditions, and the pattern information of the semiconductor element, are stored in associated form, and the measurement conditions or inspection conditions are selected through a search using pattern information of the semiconductor element. 2 . The recipe creation device according to claim 1 , wherein the pattern information is a template which is generated on the basis of the design data. 3 . The recipe creation device according to claim 1 , wherein the arithmetic processing device generates the recipes on the basis of measurement conditions or inspection conditions selected through the search. 4 . The recipe creation device according to claim 1 , wherein the arithmetic processing device displays measurement conditions or inspection conditions selected through the search on a display device. 5 . The recipe creation device according to claim 1 , wherein the arithmetic processing device selects the measurement conditions or the inspection conditions on the basis of selected recipe information and the pattern information.
