    Abstract: An ellipsometric apparatus provides two impinging focused probe beams directed to reflect off the sample along two mutually distinct and preferably substantially perpendicular directions. A rotating stage rotates sections of the wafer into the travel area defined by two linear axes of two perpendicularly oriented linear stages. As a result, an entire wafer is accessed for measurement with the linear stages having a travel range of only half the wafer diameter. The reduced linear travel results in a small travel envelope occupied by the wafer and, consequently, a small footprint of the apparatus. The use of two perpendicularly directed probe beams permits measurement of periodic structures along a preferred direction while permitting the use of a reduced motion stage.

    Abstract: An ellipsometer includes a light source for generating a probe beam of polychromatic light for interacting with a sample. The probe beam is passed through a first polarizer that imparts a known polarization state to the probe beam. The polarized probe beam is then directed to reflect from the sample. A second illumination source is switched on and off at a predetermined frequency to create an intensity modulated pump beam (the beam may also be chopped). The pump beam is directed normally against the subject producing a small illumination spot within the area illuminated by the probe beam. The pump induces localized changes in the dielectric properties of the subject. The pump-beam induced oscillations are picked up by the portion of the probe beam that is reflected from within the illumination spot of the pump beam. By analyzing only the portion of the reflected probe beam that includes the pump beam induced oscillation, the size of the measurement spot is effectively limited to the illumination spot size of the normally directed pump beam.

    Abstract: A normalization procedure for an ellipsometric system having a rotating optical element such as a polarizer or compensator is disclosed. In operation, a first DC component is extracted from the measured output signals obtained during the first 180 degrees of rotation of the optical element and a second DC component is extracted from the output signals obtained during the second 180 degrees of rotation of the optical element. The first DC component is used to normalize the output signals obtained during the first 180 degrees of rotation of the optical element and the second DC component is used to normalize the output signals obtained during the second 180 degrees of rotation of the optical element.

    Abstract: An optical inspection system and method which uses a procedure for determining an offset between a field of view and a center or rotation of an R-theta stage, or polar coordinate stage. Determining this offset allows the precise location of a site being inspected on a wafer to be determined. The system and method take advantage of the fact that in a R-theta system there can be only two positions for the R-theta stage that will position a particular site under the lens of the imaging system of the optical inspection system. By moving the stage from a first position where a particular site is positioned in the field of view, to the second position where the particular site is positioned in the field of view, the offset can be determined.
