| 20090091749 | Multi mode inspection method and apparatus - An inspection system for inspecting an object, the system comprising an illuminator including at least one pulsed light source, a detector assembly, and a relative motion provider operative to provide motion of the object relative to the detector assembly, along an axis of motion, the detector assembly comprising a plurality of 2-dimensional detector units whose active areas are arranged at intervals. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090201494 | Inspection Tools Supporting Multiple Operating States for Multiple Detector Arrangements - An inspection system can support operation in multiple states. For instance, when inspecting an article, such as a semiconductor wafer, the tool can switch between imaging multiple locations using respective detectors to another operating state wherein multiple detectors operating in multiple imaging modes inspect a single location. An inspection system may combine the use of multiple detectors for multiple locations and the use of multiple viewing angles or modes for the same locations and thereby achieve high throughput. The different imaging modes can comprise, for example, different collection angles, polarizations, different spectral bands, different attenuations, different focal positions relative to the wafer, and other different types of imaging. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090225307 | WAFER INSPECTION USING SHORT-PULSED CONTINUOUS BROADBAND ILLUMINATION - An inspection system may be configured to inspect objects, such as semiconductor wafers, using narrow-pulse broadband illumination. The illumination may be obtained in some embodiments using a laser configured to emit light into a material having a spectral broadening effect. The inspection system can include various filters which may be selectively placed in the illumination and/or imaging path in order to tune the spectrum of light impinging on the wafer and the light that is detected. The filters may include selectable filters, fixed filters, and filters whose characteristics can be adjusted in-place. In some embodiments, filters may be used to match the illumination/detection spectra of different tools. Additionally, the broadband illumination may be tuned between inspections and/or during inspections for best results. The system may support Fourier filtering whereby light, related to repetitive features of the object and in one or more wavelength sub-bands of the illumination, may be filtered. | 09-10-2009 |
| 20090323053 | Optical Inspection Tools Featuring Light Shaping Diffusers - An optical inspection system or tool can be configured to adjust the distribution of light by using one or more diffusers. The diffusers can be variable in some embodiments. For example, the angular or spatial distribution of the illumination can be adjusted to minimize intensity of illumination outside of an imaged area to thereby reduce illumination loss. The angular or spatial distribution may additionally or alternatively be adjusted so that the illumination across an illuminated area is substantially uniform. The use of one or more diffusers may aid in the inspection of semiconductor objects including, but not limited to, semiconductor wafers and the like. | 12-31-2009 |
