摘要:
Apparatus for generating optical radiation includes a laser, which is configured to operate in multiple transverse modes simultaneously so as to generate an input beam, which is characterized by a first speckle contrast. The transverse modes of the input beam are optically mixed so as to generate an output beam have a second speckle contrast, which is substantially less than the first speckle contrast.

摘要:
A system and method for inspection of a substrate having a first refractive index, the method including the steps of: (i) defining an apodization scheme in response to a characteristic of the layer; (ii) applying an apodizer to apodize a beam of radiation in response to the apodization scheme; (iii) directing the apodized beam of radiation to impinge on the substrate, whereby a plurality of rays are reflected from the substrate; whereas the apodized beam of radiation propagates through an at least partially transparent medium having a third refractive index and an at least partially transparent layer having a second refractive index and is subsequently reflected from the substrate; whereas the second refractive index differs from the first refractive index and from the third refractive index; and (iv) detecting at least some of the plurality of reflected rays.

摘要:
An optical system for detecting defects on a wafer that includes a device for producing a beam and directing the beam onto the wafer surface, producing an illuminated spot on the wafer's surface. The system further includes a detector detecting light, and a mirrored assembly having together with the detector an axis of symmetry about a line perpendicular to the wafer surface. The assembly is configured to receive scattered light from the surface, where the scattered light including a first scattered light part being scattered from the pattern. The assembly is further configured to reflect and focus rotationally symmetrically about the axis of symmetry the scattered light to the detector. The system further includes a device operating with the detector for facilitating detection of a scattered light other than the specified scattered light due to pattern.
