Abstract

Recently, semiconductor manufacturers have been striving for high speed, large scale multi-layer wafer surface measurement. In this paper, we propose a novel technique in multi-layer wave-front sensing. The measurement uses a gated camera in pico second shutter that can be synchronized to a pico second laser pulse, up to μm accuracy. Subsequently, we propose a compensation technique using time-of-flight wave-front sensing to reconstruct the multilayer surfaces using our proposed gated imaging technique.
