    摘要: A method and apparatus is used for inspection of devices to detect processing faults on semiconductor wafers. The method includes illuminating a strip of a die along a scan path with a moving measurement spot. The method further includes detecting scattered radiation to obtain an angle-resolved spectrum, and comparing the scattering data with a library of reference spectra. Based on the comparison, the method includes determining the presence of a fault of the die at the strip. The illumination and detection are performed along the scan path across a region, such that the scattering data is spatially integrated over the region.

    摘要: Measurement of a profile of a scatterometry object on top of one or more product layers on a substrate is disclosed. To prevent an unknown parameters of one or more product layers having an effect on the measurement of the object profile, the thickness of the one or more product layers is measured prior to measuring the profile of the scatterometry object on the layer(s). In an embodiment, each of a plurality of product layers is measured as it is exposed so that only the degree of freedom of the most recently exposed product layer is unknown at each measurement step. When each of a plurality of product layers has been measured, and a scatterometry object is placed at the top of the layers, only the degrees of freedom of that scatterometry object should be unknown and only the profile of the object should need to be measured.
