    摘要: An inspection apparatus may include: a structured-light source configured to sequentially radiate a plurality of structured lights having one phase range; a lens configured to adjust, for each of the plurality of structured lights, optical paths of light beams corresponding to phases of the phase range such that a light beam corresponding to one phase of the phase range arrives at each point of a partial region on an object; an image sensor configured to capture a plurality of reflected lights generated by the structured lights being reflected from the partial region; and a processor configured to acquire a light quantity value of the reflected lights; and derive an angle of the surface by deriving phase values of the reflected lights based on the light quantity value for the reflected lights.

    摘要: A detection apparatus that detects a mark formed on a substrate is provided. The detection apparatus comprises a detection optical system that irradiates light on the mark on the substrate held by a stage and detects an image of the mark, and a processor that performs a detection process of the mark based on the image of the mark. The processor finds a detection value indicating a position of the mark in an observation field of the detection optical system based on the image of the mark, finds a subregion in which the mark is located among a plurality of subregions in the observation field, and corrects the detection value based on a correction value corresponding to the found subregion among correction values predetermined for the plurality of subregions, respectively.

    摘要: An inspection system may include an illumination source to generate an illumination beam, illumination optics to direct the illumination beam to a sample at an off-axis angle along an illumination direction, and collection optics to collect scattered light from the sample in a dark-field mode, where the scattered light from the sample includes surface haze associated with light scattered from a surface of the sample, and where at least a at least a portion of the surface haze has elliptical polarizations. The system may further include pupil-plane optics to convert the polarizations of the surface haze across the pupil to linear polarization that is aligned parallel to a selected haze orientation direction. The system may include a linear polarizer to reject the surface haze aligned parallel to this haze orientation direction and a detector to generate a dark-field image of the sample based on light passed by the linear polarizer.
