Alignment Measurement System
A method for determining a characteristic of a feature in an object, the feature being disposed below a surface of the object is disclosed. The surface of the object is irradiated with a pulsed pump radiation beam so as to produce an acoustic wave in the object. The surface of the object is then irr...

| description | A method for determining a characteristic of a feature in an object, the feature being disposed below a surface of the object is disclosed. The surface of the object is irradiated with a pulsed pump radiation beam so as to produce an acoustic wave in the object. The surface of the object is then irradiated with a measurement radiation beam. A portion of the measurement radiation beam scattered from the surface is received and a characteristic of the feature in the object is determined from at least a portion of the measurement radiation beam scattered from the surface within a measurement time period. A temporal intensity distribution of the pulsed pump radiation beam is selected such that in the measurement time period a signal to background ratio is greater than a signal to background ratio achieved using a single pulse of the pulsed pump radiation beam. The signal to background ratio is a ratio of: (a) signals generated at the surface by reflections of acoustic waves from the feature to (b) background signals generated at the surface by reflections of acoustic waves which have not reflected from the feature. |
