    摘要: A measurement system is disclosed in which a first optical system splits an input radiation beam into a plurality of components. A modulator receives the plurality of components and applies a modulation to at least one of the components independently of at least one other of the components. A second optical system illuminates a target with the plurality of components and directs radiation scattered by the target to a detection system. The detection system distinguishes between each of one or more components, or between each of one or more groups of components, of the radiation directed to the detection system based on the modulation applied to each component or each group of components by the modulator.

    摘要: Method(s) and System(s) for verifying authenticity of a gemstone (108) are described. The method includes receiving identification information associated with a gemstone (108). The identification information is indicative of at least one of a model number, a part number, a date, a time, and a gemstone ID associated with the gemstone (108). Thereafter, the gemstone (108) is analyzed to obtain an image pattern corresponding to the gemstone (108), the image pattern is based on refraction and reflection of a radiation incident on the gemstone (108). Thereafter, the method includes identifying a unique image pattern corresponding to the image pattern in a database. A stored identification information corresponding to the unique image pattern is then identified. The stored identification information and the unique image pattern are stored in the database for verification of the gemstone (108).

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for generating a compensation matrix during a substrate inspection. The method comprises the steps of: selecting information of N1 (N1 ‰§2) feature objects which are randomly predetermined within a field of view (FOV) on a substrate; generating a first compensation matrix on the basis of information of the feature objects which are extracted on the substrate; comparing an offset value of each of all the feature objects with a predetermined reference value by applying all the feature objects within the FOV to the compensation matrix to count the number of the feature objects of which the offset value of the each of all the feature objects is less than the predetermined reference value; and repeatedly performing the above steps N2 times (N2‰§1), and generating a second compensation matrix using information of the feature objects which have the offset value which is less than the predetermined reference value, in case the number of the counted feature objects is the maximum.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for generating a compensation matrix during a substrate inspection. The method comprises the steps of: selecting information of N1 (N1 ≧2) feature objects which are randomly predetermined within a field of view (FOV) on a substrate; generating a first compensation matrix on the basis of information of the feature objects which are extracted on the substrate; comparing an offset value of each of all the feature objects with a predetermined reference value by applying all the feature objects within the FOV to the compensation matrix to count the number of the feature objects of which the offset value of the each of all the feature objects is less than the predetermined reference value; and repeatedly performing the above steps N2 times (N2≧1), and generating a second compensation matrix using information of the feature objects which have the offset value which is less than the predetermined reference value, in case the number of the counted feature objects is the maximum.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for inspecting a photolithographic reticle. A plurality of patch areas of a reticle is defined. Prior to using a reticle in any photolithography process, an optical reticle inspection tool is used during a first inspection to obtain, for each of a plurality of sets of one or more patch areas, a reference average of multiple reference intensity values corresponding to light measured from a plurality of sub-areas of each patch area of the reticle. After using the reticle in a plurality of photolithography processes, the optical reticle inspection tool is used during a second inspection to obtain, for each of the sets of one or more patch areas, an average of multiple test intensity values corresponding to light measured from the plurality of sub-areas of each patch area of the reticle. A same setup recipe for the optical reticle inspection tool is used for both the first and second inspections. A difference intensity map is generated, and such map comprises a plurality of map values that each corresponds to a difference between each average of the test intensity values and average of the reference intensity values for each of the sets of one or more patches. The difference intensity map indicates whether the reticle has degraded over time more than a predefined level.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for the inspection of flat objects, in particular wafers (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 26, 28, 30), comprising the following steps: recording one digital image of the object surface of several homogeneous objects of a series in each case, wherein each digital image consists of a multiplicity of pixels having an intensity value assigned to the said pixel; and detecting defects on the respective object surface by comparing the recorded image with a reference image; wherein the images of the objects of the whole series are recorded before the comparison with the reference image, and the reference image is generated from several or all images of the series, e.g. by averaging (median) the images of the series.
