Zusammenfassung:Objective lenses and corresponding optical systems and metrology tools, as well as methods are provided. Objective lenses comprise a central region conforming to specified imaging requirements and a peripheral region conforming to specified scatterometry requirements. The optical systems may comprise common-path optical elements configured to handle both imaging and scatterometry signals received through the objective lens. Using a single objective lens simplifies the design of the optical system while maintaining, simultaneously, the performance requirements for imaging as well as for scatterometry.
