A surface inspection system, as well as related components and methods, are provided. The surface inspection system includes a beam source subsystem, a beam scanning subsystem, a workpiece movement subsystem, an optical collection and detection subsystem, and a processing subsystem. The optical collection and detection system features, in the front quartersphere, a light channel assembly for collecting light reflected from the surface of the workpiece, and a front collector and wing collectors for collecting light scattered from the surface, to greatly improve the measurement capabilities of the system. The light channel assembly has a switchable edge exclusion mask and a reflected light detection system for improved detection of the reflected light.

In one embodiment, a surface analyzer system comprises a radiation targeting assembly to target a radiation beam onto a surface; and a scattered radiation collecting assembly that collects radiation scattered from the surface. The radiation targeting assembly generates primary and secondary beams. Data collected from the reflections of the primary and secondary beams may be used in a dynamic range extension routine, alone or in combination with a power attenuation routine.

An optical scanning system includes a first radiating source capable of outputting a first source light beam, a second radiating source capable of outputting a second source light beam, a first time-varying beam reflector configured to direct the first source light beam and the second source light beam toward the sample, a scan lens configured to focus the first source light beam and the second source light beam reflected by the first time-varying beam reflector onto the sample, and a compound ellipsoidal collector configured to direct light scattered from the sample toward a scattered radiation detector. The optical scanner causes one of the first or second source light beams to be directed towards a sample at an incident angle. The first light beam has a first wavelength, the second light beam has a second wavelength, and the first wavelength and the second wavelength are not the same.

This illumination optical system comprises a laser light source 301, 401, 501, a light collection optical system 311, 411, 511, and a support structure 312, 412 that is able to secure the laser light source and the light collection optical system, wherein the light from the laser light source is focused onto an object to be inspected 307, 407, 507. The light collection optical system comprises a cylindrical mirror 306, 406, 506, and at least one cylindrical lens 304, 404a, 404b, 404c, 504a, 504b, 504c. The cylindrical mirror is an optical element that collects light in a first direction, and the cylindrical lens is an optical element that collects light in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The focal distance of the cylindrical lens to the object to be inspected is greater than the focal distance of the cylindrical mirror to the object to be inspected.
摘要:
A defect inspection system is provided for inspection of defects in the surface of a sample. An array of light sources is used, with different light sources providing light to the sample from different directions. A main direction of illumination is defined with highest intensity, and this direction evolves over time. By providing varying directional illumination instead of blanket illumination, it becomes easier to detect defects.
摘要:
A defect inspecting method and apparatus for inspecting a surface state including a defect on a wafer surface, in which a polarization state of a laser beam irradiated onto the wafer surface is connected into a specified polarization state, the converted laser beam having the specified polarization state is inserted onto the wafer surface, and a scattering light occurring from an irradiated region where the laser beam having the specified polarization state is irradiated, is separated into a first scattering light occurring due to a defect on the wafer and a second scattering light occurring due to a surface roughness on the wafer. An optical element for optical path division separates the first and second scattering lights approximately at the same time.
