    摘要: Disclosed herein is a computerized system including scanning equipment configured to obtain multi-perspective scan data of a slice on a sample. The scanning equipment includes: (i) a light source configured to generate a light beam; (ii) an acousto-optic deflector (AOD) configured to focus the light beam such as to generate a beam train scanned along consecutive lines on the slice, in groups of n≥2 successively scanned lines, along each of which the beam train forms at least one illumination spot, respectively; and (iii) one or more detectors configured to sense light returned from the slice. The n≥2 lines are scanned different perspectives, respectively. The consecutive lines may be longitudinally displaced relative to one another, such as to overlap in 100·(n−1)/n % of widths thereof, so that the slice may be fully scanned in each of the perspectives.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is method for multi-perspective-based wafer analysis. The method includes (i) scanning a plurality of pages, or portions thereof, one after the other, wherein each page, or a portion thereof, is successively scanned, in each of a multiplicity of perspectives, and (ii) analyzing scan data of a last scanned page while scanning a next page from the plurality of pages. At least some of the pages include multiple slices of the wafer. The analysis of the scan data includes identifying defects in the scanned pages, based on an integrated analysis combining scan data from each of the multiplicity of perspectives. Further disclosed is a computerized system configured to implement the method.
