    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for inspecting a wafer, the wafer including a film deposited on a surface of the wafer. The film may have a thickness that varies over the surface of the wafer. The method includes the step of measuring the thickness, refractive index, and extinction coefficient of the film across the surface of the wafer. With this data a film curve is created in real time. The method also includes the step of determining a size of a defect on the surface based on at least the film curve.

    Abstract: A luminescent tag based defect detection system comprises a luminescent tag attachment assembly, an illumination source, one or more detectors, and a set of optical elements. The luminescent tag attachment assembly exposes a sample to one or more luminescent tag materials selectively attached to one or more defects on the sample. The illumination source generates illumination including one or more wavelengths corresponding to the one or more absorption spectra associated with the one or more luminescent tags. At least a portion of the set of optical elements directs illumination from the illumination source to the sample, and at least a portion of the set of optical elements directs illumination emitted from the one or more luminescent tag materials to the one or more detectors. A luminescent tag based defect detection system may also include a luminescent tag removal assembly to remove the luminescent tags after detection.
