Abstract:
Provided is an optical measurement system. The optical measurement system includes: an optical module which includes an optical system and which is configured to illuminate a sample and register a defocused image of a nanostructured surface of the sample, an optical system parameter control module configured to set optical parameters of the optical system, an optical transfer function (OTF) measurement module configured to measure an OTF, a defocused image calculation module configured to calculate the defocused image based on the measured OTF and the optical parameters, and a critical dimension (CD) evaluation module configured to compare the registered defocused image with the calculated defocused image of the nanostructured surface of the sample and to output a CD value of the nanostructured surface.
Abstract:
A particle inspection method includes irradiating a spatially modulated modulation beam onto a surface of a substrate and detecting an absorption light signal from a reflection beam generated through reflection of the spatially modulated modulation beam by the substrate.
Abstract:
In a method of detecting a defect on a substrate, an incident beam may be radiated to a surface of the substrate to generate reflected light beams. A second harmonic generation (SHG) beam among the reflected light beams may be detected. The SHG beam may be generated by a defect on the substrate. A nano size defect may be detected by examining the SHG beam.
