    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for devices and methods of measuring a pitch P of optical device structures and an orientation angle ϕ of the optical device structures. One embodiment of the system includes an optical arm coupled to an arm actuator. The optical arm includes a light source. The light source emits a light path operable to be diffracted to the stage. The optical arm further includes a first beam splitter and a second beam splitter positioned in the light path. The first beam splitter directs the light path through a first lens and the second beam splitter directs the light path through a first dove prism and a second lens. The optical arm further includes a first detector operable to detect the light path from the first lens and second detector operable to detect the light path from the second lens.

    Abstract: A system, software application, and method for optical device metrology of optical device patterns formed from lithography stitching are provided. In one example, the method includes creating a stitched design file comprising images of a plurality of masks; defining target coordinates for each of the plurality of masks in the stitched design file; defining an alignment mark for the stitched design file; capturing images of an optical device pattern at each of the target coordinates; comparing the captured images of the optical device pattern at each of the target coordinates to virtual images of the stitched design file at each of the target coordinates; and determining whether the optical device pattern at each of the target coordinates meets a threshold value.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods for forming features having small and large line widths on the same substrate or device. In some embodiments, the methods described and discussed herein can be used to produce optical and photonic devices. These devices, including augmented reality (AR) devices and/or virtual reality (VR) devices, have desired pattern areas with different features and/or line widths to achieve the desired optical performance.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to composite PVD target. The target has a diameter, a connection face, a substrate face opposite the connection face, a thickness between the connection face and the substrate face, and a material distribution. The material distribution includes a silicon containing material arranged in a pattern, and a titanium containing material arranged in the pattern. The material distribution is uniform at any point along the thickness.
