Abstract: An optical measurement system, which include an illumination path that is configured to illuminate an illuminated area of a sample; a collection path configured to collect illumination emitted from the illuminated area as a result of the illumination of the illuminated area; a spatial filter that is tunable; a Raman detector; and wherein the spatial filter is positioned upstream to the Raman detector, and is configured to spatially filter the illumination emitted from the illuminated area to provide spatially filtered illumination. The Raman detector is configured to receive the spatially filtered illumination and to generate one or more Raman spectra.

Abstract: A method and system are presented for use in measuring one or more characteristics of patterned structures. The method comprises: performing measurements on a patterned structure by illuminating the structure with exciting light to cause Raman scattering of one or more excited regions of the pattern structure, while applying a controlled change of at least temperature condition of the patterned structure, and detecting the Raman scattering, and generating corresponding measured data indicative of a temperature dependence of the detected Raman scattering; and analyzing the measured data and generating data indicative of spatial profile of one or more properties of the patterned structure.

Abstract: A polarized Raman Spectrometric system for defining parameters of a polycrystaline material, the system comprises a polarized Raman Spectrometric apparatus, a computer-controlled sample stage for positioning a sample at different locations, and a computer comprising a processor and an associated memory. The polarized Raman Spectrometric apparatus generates signal(s) from either small sized spots at multiple locations on a sample or from an elongated line-shaped points on the sample, and the processor analyzes the signal(s) to define the parameters of said polycrystalline material.
