    Abstract: A multispectral imaging system and method in which the zero-mode channel is used to provide imaging of any of a variety of optical properties. In one example an imaging method includes spectrally dispersing received electromagnetic radiation into its spectral components with a dispersive element to produce spectrally dispersed electromagnetic radiation, transmitting the electromagnetic radiation through the dispersive element to produce non-dispersed electromagnetic radiation corresponding to a zero order diffraction mode of the dispersive element, imaging the non-dispersed electromagnetic radiation to produce a zero-mode image, and simultaneously imaging the spectrally dispersed electromagnetic radiation to produce a spectral image.

    Abstract: An optical method and system for measuring characteristics of a sample using a broadband metrology tool in a purge gas flow environment are disclosed. In the method a beam path for the metrology tool is purged with purge gas at a first flow rate. A surface of the sample is illuminated by a beam of source radiation having at least one wavelength component in a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range and/or at least one wavelength component in an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) range. A flow rate of a purge gas is adjusted between the first flow rate for metrology measurements made when the source radiation is in the VUV spectral region and a second flow rate for metrology measurements made when the source radiation is in the UV-Vis spectral region. The system includes a light source, illumination optics, collection optics, detector, a purge gas source and a controller. The purge gas source is configured to supply a flow of purge gas to a beam path in the light source and/or illumination optics and/or sample and/or collection optics and/or detector. The controller is configured to control a flow rate of the purged gas flow in response to an output signal from the detector.

    Abstract: A spectrometric analyzing device is capable of analyzing a thin film with high accuracy by using light having an arbitrary wavelength, such as not only infrared light but also visible light, ultraviolet light and X-ray, and using whatever refractive index of a supporting member of the thin film. A spectrometric analyzing device comprises a light source (1), a polarizing filter (2), a detection unit (3), a regression operation unit (4) and an absorbance spectrum calculation unit (5). The light source (1) emits light at n different angles of incidence (θn) to a measurement portion. The polarizing filter (2) shields an s-polarized component. The detection unit (3) detects transmitted spectra (S). The regression operation unit (4) uses the transmitted spectra (S) and a mixing ratio (R) to obtain an in-plane mode spectrum (sip) and an out-of-plane mode spectrum (sop) through a regression analysis. The absorbance spectrum calculation unit (5) calculates an in-plane mode absorbance spectrum (Aip) and an out-of-plane mode absorbance spectrum (Aop) of the thin film, based on the results from a state in which the thin film is on the supporting member and a state in which no thin film is on the supporting member.
