Differential wavelength inspection system

An inspection tool or inspection system can be utilized to determine whether the appropriate pattern is on a reticle. The reticle can be associated with EUV lithographic tools. The system utilizes at least two wavelengths of light. The light is directed to the reticle at the at least two wavelengths...

Zusammenfassung:An inspection tool or inspection system can be utilized to determine whether the appropriate pattern is on a reticle. The reticle can be associated with EUV lithographic tools. The system utilizes at least two wavelengths of light. The light is directed to the reticle at the at least two wavelengths of light and detected by a detector. The image associated with the first wavelength is subtracted from or otherwise processed with respect to the image associated with the second wavelength to improve contrast ratio.
