    摘要: Methods for performing imaging reflectometry measurements include illuminating a measurement area on a sample using an input beam having a first peak wavelength, and obtaining multiple images of the measurement area using portions of the input beam reflected from the sample. A reflectance intensity value is determined for each of a plurality of pixels in each of the images. A parameter associated with the particular structure is determined using the reflectance intensity value.

    摘要: A system for processing a substrate is provided. The system includes a process chamber including one or more sidewalls enclosing a processing region; and a substrate support. The system further includes a passageway connected to the process chamber; and a first particle detector disposed at a first location along the passageway. The first particle detector includes an energy source configured to emit a first beam; one or more optical devices configured to direct the first beam along one or more paths, where the one or more paths extend through at least a portion of the passageway. The first particle detector further includes a first energy detector disposed at a location other than on the one or more paths. The system further includes a controller configured to communicate with the first particle detector, wherein the controller is configured to identify a fault based on signals received from the first particle detector.

    摘要: An imaging reflectometer includes a source module configured to generate a plurality of input beams at different nominal wavelengths. An illumination pupil having a first numerical aperture (NA) is arranged so that each of the plurality of input beams passes through the illumination pupil. A large field lens is configured to receive at least a portion of each of the plurality of input beams and provide substantially telecentric illumination over a sample being imaged. The large field lens is also configured to receive reflected portions of the substantially telecentric illumination reflected from the sample. The reflected portions pass through an imaging pupil having a second NA that is lower than the first NA and are received by an imaging sensor module that generates image information.

    摘要: A system includes a radiation source configured to emit a radiation beam. The system further includes a first optical sensor configured to detect a first intensity of a first portion of the radiation beam reflected from a surface of an object. The system further includes a second optical sensor configured to detect a second intensity of a second portion of the radiation beam scattered by the surface of the object. The system further includes a processing device communicatively coupled to the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor. The processing device is configured to determine at least one of a roughness or an emissivity of the surface of the object based on a comparison of the first intensity and the second intensity.

    摘要: Examples disclosed herein generally relate to an apparatus and method for detecting particles in a fluid. A system for imaging a particle includes an imaging device. The imaging device has a lens and a detector. A laser source is configured to emit a laser beam. The detector is configured to accumulate an intensity of an accumulated light that passes through the lens. The accumulated light is scattered by the particle. The particle passes through the laser beam over a given period.
