Abstract

See full text

A measurement system and method are presented for use in measuring in patterned structures having annularly-shaped vias. The system comprises illumination and detection channels, a polarization orientation system, a navigation system, and a control unit. The polarization orientation system provides at least one of a first polarization orientation condition corresponding to a first measurement mode enabling determination a depth of the via, and a second polarization orientation condition corresponding to a second measurement mode enabling determination of one or more parameters of a profile of the via, the first and second polarization orientation conditions defining first and second predetermined orientations respectively for polarization of the incident light relative a sidewall of the via.
