Abstract:
Provided are a diffraction-based metrology apparatus having high measurement sensitivity, a diffraction-based metrology method capable of accurately performing measurement on a semiconductor device, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the metrology method. The diffraction-based metrology apparatus includes a light source that outputs a light beam, a stage on which an object is placed, a reflective optical element that irradiates the light beam onto the object through reflection, such that the light beam is incident on the object at an inclination angle, the inclination angle being an acute angle, a detector that detects a diffracted light beam that is based on the light beam reflected and diffracted by the object and a processor that measures a 3D pupil matrix for the diffracted light beam and analyze the object based on the 3D pupil matrix.
Abstract:
A housing includes a first opening and a second opening, and encloses a light-emitting element and a first light receiving unit. The first opening is provided in a first light guide path, and is arranged so that light output from the light-emitting element travels toward a target surface. The second opening is provided in a second light guide path arranged between the target surface and the first light receiving unit. The first opening is an exit opening of a through-hole provided penetrating through the housing, and a shape of the through-hole is a shape in which diffracted light of the +1st order and higher orders and diffracted light of the −1st order and higher orders produced at the target surface to be irradiated are not incident on the first light receiving unit.

Abstract:
A grain measurement device (76) comprises a chamber (80) having an inlet (82) and an outlet (84) for grain that is to be tested. A spectrometer is equipped with a light source (89) and a detector (91) for light which was generated by the light source (89) and was transmitted through the sample. The detector (91) is connected to an analyzer (134) for wavelength-resolved analysis of the received light. A mounting (93) of one of the light source (89) or detector (91) can be moved with respect to the other (91, 89 by a drive (106), which moves the mounting (93) for purposes of conveying the sample either in the flow direction (130) or in the opposite direction, in order to break up the sample or to avoid bridging and/or jamming of the sample in the measurement chamber (80).
