Abstract: Methods and systems for measurement of wafer tilt and overlay are described herein. In some embodiments, the measurements are based on the value of an asymmetry response metric and known wafer statistics. Spectral measurements are performed at two different azimuth angles, preferably separated by one hundred eighty degrees. A sub-range of wavelengths is selected with significant signal sensitivity to wafer tilt or overlay. An asymmetry response metric is determined based on a difference between the spectral signals measured at the two different azimuth angles within the selected sub-range of wavelengths. The value of the asymmetry response metric is mapped to an estimated value of wafer tilt or overlay. In some other embodiments, the measurement of wafer tilt or overlay is based on a trained measurement model. Training data may be programmed or determined based on one or more asymmetry response metrics at two different azimuth angles.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method including: providing a light guiding arrangement (LGA) configured to redirect light, incident thereon in a direction perpendicular to an external surface of the sample, into or onto the sample, such that light impinges on an internal facet of the sample nominally normally thereto; generating a first incident light beam (LB), directed at the external surface normally thereto, and a second incident LB, parallel to the first incident LB and directed at the LGA; obtaining a first returned LB by reflection of the first incident LB off the external surface, and a second returned LB by redirection by the LGA of the second incident LB into or onto the sample, reflection thereof off the internal facet, and inverse redirection by the LGA; measuring an angular deviation between the returned LBs and deducing therefrom an actual inclination angle of the internal facet relative to the external surface.
