    摘要: A method of evaluating a semiconductor wafer, which has a polished surface, by using a laser surface-inspection device including incident and light-receiving systems, includes evaluating the semiconductor wafer by detecting, as a light point defect, an abnormality of a process-induced defect and a surface-adhered foreign matter present on the polished surface of the semiconductor wafer, on the basis of measurement result obtained by directing incident light to the polished surface of the semiconductor wafer from one incident system and receiving, with a first light-receiving system, radiation light which has been radiated by the incident light being reflected or scattered by the polished surface, measurement result obtained by receiving the radiation light with a second light-receiving system, and measurement result obtained by receiving the radiation light with a third light-receiving system, and at least one of a light-receiving angle and polarization selectivity differs among the first, second and third light-receiving systems.

    摘要: The invention relates to an optical system of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, in particular for operation in the EUV, comprising at least one polarization-influencing arrangement having a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface, wherein the first reflection surface and the second reflection surface are arranged at an angle of 0°±10° or at an angle of 90°±10° relative to one another, wherein light incident on the first reflection surface during the operation of the optical system forms an angle of 45°±5° with the first reflection surface, and wherein the polarization-influencing arrangement is rotatable about a rotation axis running parallel to the light propagation direction of light incident on the first reflection surface during the operation of the optical system.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a polarization filter which is formed by at least one periodic line grid made from parallel extending metallic webs on a dielectric layer. The metallic webs are interrupted in their longitudinal extension by slots. The centre-to-centre distances between the slots are greater than the period of the line grid in a direction parallel to the metallic webs. The proposed polarization filter can be produced with a CMOS process with high reliability, in particular for the visible spectral range, even over a larger area.
