    摘要: A device 1 is disclosed for inspecting, measuring defined structures, simulating structures and structural defects, repair of and to structures, and post-inspecting defined object sites on a microscopic component 2 with an immersion objective 8a. The device 1 comprises a stage that is movable in the x-coordinate direction and in the y-coordinate direction and a holder 42 for the microscopic component 2, whereby the holder 42 is placed on the stage 4 with the microscopic component 2 in it. The holder 42 has a reservoir 51a with immersion or cleaning fluid, respectively. The stage 4 is movable such that the immersion objective 8a is located directly above the reservoir 51a and may dip into the fluid with its front-most lens.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for optical measurement of an OPC structure (306), having a pre-determined structure (302) on a photo-mask, in order to determine a measurement of the structure in at least one direction, whereby, firstly, a region (300) is determined on the photo-mask, which comprises the OPC structure (306) to be measured. The intensity of the determined region (300) is then scanned in a first direction and the region in which the intensity passes a threshold is determined for each scan. The maximum separation between an edge (308) of the structure (302) and an edge (312) of the corresponding OPC structure (306) is determined, based on the difference of the determined regions.

    摘要: In order to improve the detectability of defects in structures incorporated beneath the surface of a wafer, it is suggested to acquire an IR subimage of the illuminated wafer with an IR image acquisition device and a VIS subimage with a VIS image acquisition device. The acquisition is performed simultaneously and is controlled such that the same area of the wafer is imaged sharply by both image acquisition devices. An image processor is used to determine whether a detected defect is attributable to a defect on the surface or to a defect of the structures located beneath the surface.
