Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for measuring and controlling polarization for inspection of a semiconductor sample. The method includes (i) setting up an inspection system in a specific mode of operation, (ii) incrementing a first waveplate of the system through a plurality of rotations while keeping a second waveplate of the system static, (iii) measuring an intensity signal from non-patterned areas of the sample for each rotation of the first waveplate, (iv) incrementing the second waveplate through a plurality of rotations while keeping the first waveplate static (v) measuring an intensity signal from non-patterned areas of the sample for each rotation of the second waveplate, (vi) generating a model of a plurality of polarization and waveplate parameters for the system to simulate the intensity signals that were measured for each rotation of the first and/or second waveplate, and (vii) determining the polarization and waveplate parameters for the system based on the model and a polarization state on photomask plane based on the polarization and waveplate parameters.

Abstract: Methods and systems for integrated multi-pass reticle inspection are provided. One method for inspecting a reticle includes acquiring at least first, second, and third images for the reticle. The first image is a substantially high resolution image of light transmitted by the reticle. The second image is a substantially high resolution image of light reflected from the reticle. The third image is an image of light transmitted by the reticle that is acquired with a substantially low numerical aperture. The method also includes detecting defects on the reticle using at least the first, second, and third images for the reticle in combination.
