Abstract:
Method of determining defects in a substrate, the method comprising: scanning a scan range of the substrate with a sensor, the sensor projecting a beam of radiation on the substrate; measuring the fraction of the intensity of the radiation reflected from different substrate areas along the scan range; determining the variations of the measured fraction across the scan range; determining from the variations whether any defects are present in the substrate.
