    Abstract: A method for scanning a surface, consisting of focusing an array of optical beams using optics having an axis, so as to illuminate a region of the surface intercepted by the axis, such that each optical beam illuminates a portion of a respective sub-region within the region. The method further includes moving at least one of the array and the surface so as to cause a translation of the surface relative to the axis in a first direction. During the translation in the first direction, each of the optical beams is scanned over the respective sub-region in a second direction, which is different from the first direction.

    Abstract: A system to generate multiple beam lines in an oblique angle multi-beam spot scanning wafer inspection system includes a beam scanning device configured to scan a beam of illumination, an objective lens oriented at an oblique angle relative to the surface of a sample and with an optical axis perpendicular to a first scanning direction on the sample, and one or more optical elements positioned between the objective lens and the beam scanning device. The one or more optical elements split the beam into two or more offset beams such that the two or more offset beams are separated in a least a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The one or more optical elements further modify the phase characteristics of the two or more offset beams such that the two or more offset beams are simultaneously in focus on the sample during a scan.
