    摘要: The thickness of an at least partially transparent layer is measured using wavelength band limited light, with a coherence length that is less than twice the thickness of the layer. Reflections from layer are fed to a 2-n coupler (n>2) via optical transmission paths of different optical length. The 2-n coupler mix light from the path into n combinations of light from the paths, each combination with a different mutual phase offset between the light from the two paths. This leads to coherent interference between reflections from the front and back of the layer when the difference between the optical lengths of the optical transmission paths compensates for the path between reflection from the front and the back. A processing circuit computes information indicative of a phase difference between the reflections from n intensities of the 2-n coupler. The use of n>2 signals makes it possible to eliminate the influence of reflection amplitude variations on the computed phase difference.

    摘要: An object is mounted on a surface of a sample carrier. Properties of the surface of the object are measured and/or modified by means of a plurality of independently movable heads, each comprising a microscopic probe. The heads being located between the surface of a reference grid plate and the surface of the sample carrier. Head specific target locations are selected for the heads. Each head is moved over the surface of the reference grid plate, to the target location of the head. During movement a position of the head is determined from markings on the reference grid plate sensed by sensor in the head. When the sensor has indicated that the head is at the target location selected for the head a force between the head and the reference grid plate is switched to seat and/or clamp the head on the reference grid plate.
