Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes: a light source that generates and outputs light; a stage on which an inspection target is arranged; an irradiation optical system that irradiates light from the light source to the inspection target; a detector that receives the light diffracted from the inspection target and generates diffraction image; and a detector moving device configured to move the detector on a z-axis, which is an optical axis of the light, and an x-y plane perpendicular to the z-axis. Furthermore, while the detector moves on the x-y plane and the z-axis through the detector moving device, the detector generates a plurality of the diffraction images with different positions on the x-y plane and the z-axis with respect to the inspection target, and thus simultaneously implements phase retrieval and super resolution of diffraction images.

Abstract: A semiconductor measurement apparatus includes an illumination unit configured to provide illumination light including linearly polarized light beams having different wavelengths, an optical unit including an objective lens configured to allow the illumination light to be incident on a sample, the optical unit being configured to transmit reflection light generated when the illumination light is reflected from the sample, a self-interference generator configured to self-interfere the reflection light transmitted from the optical unit and transmit the reflection light to a first image sensor, for each wavelength, and a controller. The controller is configured to process a measurement image output by the image sensor to divide the measurement image into a first image representing an intensity ratio of a polarization component of the reflection light and a second image representing a phase difference of the polarization component of the reflection light, for each wavelength.
