    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting defects on a wafer are provided. One method includes generating output for a wafer by scanning the wafer with an inspection system using first and second optical states of the inspection system. The first and second optical states are defined by different values for at least one optical parameter of the inspection system. The method also includes generating first image data for the wafer using the output generated using the first optical state and second image data for the wafer using the output generated using the second optical state. In addition, the method includes combining the first image data and the second image data corresponding to substantially the same locations on the wafer thereby creating additional image data for the wafer. The method further includes detecting defects on the wafer using the additional image data.

    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, carrier media, and systems for selecting polarization settings for an inspection system for inspection of a layer of a wafer are provided. One method includes detecting a population of defects on the layer of the wafer using results of each of scans of the wafer performed with different combinations of polarization settings of the inspection system for illumination and collection of light scattered from the wafer. The method also includes identifying a subpopulation of the defects for each of the different combinations, each of which includes the defects that are common to at least two of the different combinations, and determining a characteristic of a measure of signal-to-noise for each of the subpopulations. The method further includes selecting the polarization settings for the illumination and the collection to be used for the inspection corresponding to the subpopulation having the best value for the characteristic.

    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for detecting defects on a semiconductor sample. The system includes an illumination module for directing a nonzero-order Gaussian illumination beam towards a plurality of locations on a sample and a collection module for detecting light scattered from the sample in response to the nonzero-order Gaussian illumination beams and generating a plurality of output images or signals for each location on the sample. The system further comprises a processor system for detecting defects by (i) processing the output images or signals so as to retain filtered image or signal portions that substantially match a point spread function of the one or more nonzero-order Gaussian illumination beams, and (ii) analyzing the filtered image or signal portions to detect defects on the sample.
