摘要: Disclosed are methods and systems for determining a topography of a lithographic optical element and/or a holder of a lithographic optical element. In one embodiment, the method includes directing electromagnetic radiation towards a lithographic optical element, where the electromagnetic radiation comprises electromagnetic radiation in a first predetermined wavelength range and electromagnetic radiation in a second predetermined wavelength range. The method further includes using the lithographic optical element to adsorb the electromagnetic radiation in the first predetermined wavelength range, and to reflect at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation in the second predetermined wavelength range towards a substrate comprising a photosensitive layer, thereby exposing the photosensitive layer to form an exposed photosensitive layer. The method still further includes performing an evaluation of the exposed photosensitive layer and, based on the evaluation, determining a topography of the lithographic optical element.

摘要: A sensor for sensing contamination in an application system is disclosed. In one aspect, the sensor comprises a capping layer. The sensor is adapted to cause a first reflectivity change upon initial formation of a first contamination layer on the capping layer when the sensor is provided in the system. The first reflectivity change is larger than an average reflectivity change upon formation of a thicker contamination layer on the capping layer and larger than an average reflectivity change upon formation of an equal contamination on the actual mirrors of the optics of the system.

摘要: One embodiment relates to a method of automated microalignment using off-axis beam tilting. Image data is collected from a region of interest on a substrate at multiple beam tilts. Potential edges of a feature to be identified in the region are determined, and computational analysis of edge-related data is performed to positively identify the feature(s). Another embodiment relates to a method of automated detection of undercut on a feature using off-axis beam tilting. For each beam tilt, a determination is made of difference data between the edge measurement of one side and the edge measurement of the other side. An undercut on the feature is detected from the difference data. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

摘要: The present invention pertains to a technique of electron spectroscopic imaging that is easy to perform and cost effective. This technique allows for spatial resolution enhancement of electron beam semiconductor inspection systems (for example a critical dimension scanning electron microscope CD-SEM) as well as to obtain useful physical or chemical information on the investigated specimen. The technique involves a high pass energy filter that is alternately set, or multiplexed, at two energies. For an inspected area on a specimen, the detected intensity level at the higher energy setting is subtracted from the intensity level at the lower energy setting. The obtained differential value corresponds to electrons having energy within the range of the first and second filter settings. This obtained differential value is used to generate an image of the specimen for inspection purposes.
