Definitions
- Microscope preferably for inspection in semiconductor manufacturing
- the invention relates to the coupling of pulsed laser radiation into a microscope, preferably for quality control and defect classification of masks for semiconductor production.
- FIG. 1 shows an overall diagram of an inspection device, consisting of a laser module LM with a pulsed UV laser, a
- Transmission port UP a microscope MI with an objective O and one
- 2a and 2b is a coupling unit UP for the laser beam in the
- the laser light reaches a first rotating mirror via deflection mirrors U1, U2
- Diffuser S1 and from this to a second, preferably oppositely rotating second diffuser S2 and via a lens L.
- Microscope beam path via input E in Fig. 1 and illuminates the object to be examined.
- the laser profile is leveled by the at least one diffusing screen
- the lens rotates at a speed that is relatively small compared to the distance between two laser pulses.
- the lens is virtually stationary, but is in the period between two
- laser pulses (Repetition frequency eg 200 Hz) moved a little further before the next laser pulse occurs.
- the magnitude of the speed of rotation of the spreading disc can be in the easy-to-implement range of approx. 1 revolution per second (speed in the cm / s range) in order to achieve at least one shift by one grain size with an assumed grain size of 0.1 mm between two pulses.
- holographically produced disks can also be used as diffusing disks.
- CGH computer-generated holograms
