Abstract: In order to measure a surface profile of a sample, an imprint of the surface profile to be examined is produced in a transfer material. The sample contains processed semiconductor material and is in particular a patterned semiconductor wafer or part of a patterned semiconductor wafer. The transfer material is deformable and curable under suitable ambient conditions. The transfer material may be a thermoplastic material or a material which is deformable as desired after application on a substrate and cures in one case by means of irradiation with photons having a suitable wavelength or alternatively heating. The transfer material may be configured in such a way that the imprint produced is the same size as or alternatively of smaller size than the surface profile. The imprint produced is subsequently measured by known methods.

Abstract: Determining the volume of an etched structure in a semiconductor substrate, comprises weighing the substrate, etching the substrate by targeted material removal, and weighing the substrate. The volume of the etched structure is calculated by taking into account the weight loss and the material density.

Abstract: A process to determine a geometric shape on the surface of a semiconductor layer, as for integrated circuits, comprises irradiating the layer with radiation of a wavelength at which the layer is transparent, measuring the reflection or transmission from the layer and determining the position of the shape from the image received. An independent claim is also included for an optical system for the above process.

Abstract: The method involves applying electromagnetic scanning radiation to the layer with the recess, with a wavelength larger than the lateral dimension of the recess. The response radiation is received and the interaction of the radiation with the layer is used to determine characteristic data for derivation of the dimensions or volume of the recess and the properties of material in the recess. An independent claim is included for a method of manufacturing a component with a recess.

Abstract: Method for determining the quality of the surface of a structure mounted on a support has the following steps: irradiation of an area of the structure with electromagnetic radiation with a given orientation; determination of a value of a characteristic parameter of the reflected radiation; comparison of the determined value with an expectation value of the characteristic parameter, whereby the difference between determined and expected values is a measure of the quality of the surface structure. The invention also relates to a corresponding device.

Abstract: The method involves providing a semi-conductor wafer (5) that has a sample (14) of structural elements (16), which is periodically arranged partly on a main surface (10) along a symmetrical axis. An ellipsometer providing with a radiation source (30), a detector (50), a rotating polarizer (40). A direction (32) is selected in the case of an irradiation cross polarization appears. The irradiation depends on the determination of ellipsometric parameters from the reflected electromagnetic radiation by the detector, and calculation of the parameters of the structural elements. An independent claim is also includes for a measuring device for the regulation of parameters of structural elements of a sample on a semiconductor wafer, which has a semiconductor wafer covered on a major face along a symmetry axis.

Abstract: Mask layer`s structure superimposition accuracy determination method involves scanning a rear side of a semiconductor substrate (10) and a mask layer (14) using electromagnetic radiations. The radiations reflected from the substrate and layer are absorbed. Images of the absorbed radiation are evaluated to find positions of alignment marks on the substrate and layer. The accuracy of superimposition of a mask structure in the layer is determined based on the positions. An independent claim is also included for an optical system for determining the accuracy of superimposition of a structure in a mask layer on a semiconductor layer.
