    Abstract: A beam splitter includes first and second prisms. The first prism includes first, second, and third optical surfaces. The second prism includes three surfaces, one of which faces the second surface of the first prism and both transmit and reflect light. The first surface of the first prism is curved and forms a lens for focusing light either transmitted or reflected by the common interface between the two prisms. The first prism is from a single piece of material. Fabrication includes making two cuts through a lens to cut-out an intermediate section. A portion of the intermediate section is cut-off to form the third surface of the first prism. The first surface of the first prism corresponds to the curved top surface of the lens. The second surface of the first prism corresponds to the bottom plano surface of the lens. The first and second prisms are then combined.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and structures for monitoring incident beam position in a wafer inspection system are provided. One structure includes a feature formed in a chuck configured to support a wafer during inspection by the wafer inspection system. The chuck rotates the wafer in a theta direction and simultaneously translates the wafer in a radial direction during the inspection. An axis through the center of the feature is aligned with a radius of the chuck such that a position of the axis relative to an incident beam of the wafer inspection system indicates changes in the incident beam position in the theta direction.

    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system and method for inspecting a spinning sample by substantially simultaneously scanning multiple spots on a surface of the sample utilizing a plurality of illumination beams. Portions of illumination reflected, scattered, or radiated from respective spots on the surface of the sample are collected by at least one detector array. Information associated with at least one defect of the sample is determined by at least one computing system in communication with the detector array. According to various embodiments, at least one of scan pitch, spot size, spot separation, and spin rate is controlled to compensate pitch error due to tangential spot separation.
