    Abstract: A population of data points each having three or more parameters associated therewith, such as multi-channel defect data from an optical scanner, are plotted in three dimensions, and grouping of data points are identified. Boundary surfaces are defined in the three-dimensional space for delineating groupings of data points. The different groupings correspond to different data classifications or types. Classification algorithms based on the boundary surfaces are defined. When applied to defect classification, the algorithms can be exported to an optical scanner for runtime classification of defects. An algorithm for identifying a particular grouping of data points can be defined as a Boolean combination of grouping rules from two or more different n-dimensional representations, where n can be either 2 or 3 for each representation.

    Abstract: A ring chuck (70) that holds a wafer (8) with a vacuum uses a vacuum trough (80) that contacts the entire outer edge of the wafer (8). The chuck (70) has a base (72) having a top surface (96) equal to or slightly smaller than a wafer (8) to be tested with vacuum channels in the base (72). The base (72) provides the mechanism to connect the chuck to a measurement instrument and a vacuum source. An annulus (74) of non-contaminant material that has a plurality of concentric rings (76) extending upward from its outer edge is fixed to the base top surface (96) with the trough (80) between the concentric rings (76) connected to the vacuum channels (82). The vacuum trough (80) holds the wafer (8) securely to the chuck and minimizes vibrations when the wafer (8) is rotated. When the plurality of concentric rings (76) are contained within the wafer (8) exclusion band, the print through onto the tested are is minimized.

    Abstract: Determining the systematic error of an instrument that measures features of a semiconductor wafer which a symmetric corrector is calculated by taking the average over all measurement signatures at each load angle. The symmetric corrector is successively rotated to the same angle as a front shape measurement and subtracted, yielding a calibrated wafer data set (80). A wafer mean is computed by averaging these calibrated wafer shape measurements (82). When the wafer mean is substracted from the individual front side corrected shape measurements, a set of shape residual maps for each load angle results (84). The average of the aligned residuals is the asymmmetric error (86). The systematic error is the sum of the symmetric and asymmetric errors (90).
