Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are systems and methods for object inspection, in particular for inspection of reticles used in a lithography process. The method includes interferometrically combining a reference radiation beam with a probe radiation beam, and storing their complex field images. The complex field image of one object is then compared with that of a reference object to determine the differences. The systems and methods have particular utility in the inspection of a reticle for defects.
