    Abstract: An inspection apparatus for simultaneous dark field (DF) and differential interference contrast (DIC) inspection includes an illumination source and a sample stage configured to secure a sample. The inspection apparatus includes a first sensor, a second sensor and an optical sub-system. The optical sub-system includes an objective, one or more optical elements arranged to direct, through the objective, illumination from the one or more illumination sources to a surface of the sample. The objective is configured to collect a signal from the surface of the sample, wherein the collected signal includes a scattering-based signal and/or a phase-based signal from the sample. The inspection apparatus includes one or more separation optical elements arranged to spatially separate the collected signal into a DF signal and a DIC signal by directing the DF signal and the DIC signal along a DF path and DIC path respectively.

    Abstract: A luminescent tag based defect detection system comprises a luminescent tag attachment assembly, an illumination source, one or more detectors, and a set of optical elements. The luminescent tag attachment assembly exposes a sample to one or more luminescent tag materials selectively attached to one or more defects on the sample. The illumination source generates illumination including one or more wavelengths corresponding to the one or more absorption spectra associated with the one or more luminescent tags. At least a portion of the set of optical elements directs illumination from the illumination source to the sample, and at least a portion of the set of optical elements directs illumination emitted from the one or more luminescent tag materials to the one or more detectors. A luminescent tag based defect detection system may also include a luminescent tag removal assembly to remove the luminescent tags after detection.
