PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for managing image data and an image data service system in which a semiconductor device manufacturer can sustain reliability of a client by prompt action. SOLUTION: The image data service system comprises a storage device section 42 for accumulating and storing the image of a defect or a candidate of defect being transmitted at least from the review unit and the CD-SEM of a production division 20 through a communication means 30 and the feature amount (defect, or the like) of that image while imparting at least a semiconductor device ID, and a search engine section 43 for searching the defect, or the like, of a semiconductor device relative to the semiconductor device ID based on the defect, or the like, corresponding at least to the semiconductor device ID being inquired through a communication means. The image data service system is further provided with a data base center 40 for providing data of the defect, or the like, corresponding to a relevant semiconductor device searched by the search engine to a semiconductor device manufacturer, a design house or its client through a communication means.
