Abstract

See full text

A method for evaluating the surface state of a silicon wafer is here disclosed which comprises the steps of directly bringing an internal reflection element having a larger refractive index than that of silicon into close contact with the surface of the silicon wafer, selecting a light source having a wave length range which compounds present on the surface can absorb, entering light having a larger incident angle than critical angle from the light source into the element, and then evaluating a chemical bond state on the surface containing impurities or impure atoms by means of a multi-reflection method.
