Optical Scatterometry

By Nova Measuring Instruments

Optical scatterometry characterizes unknown properties of a sample by measuring the reflection of broadband light. The reflection varies by wavelength (color), polarization and angle of incidence. Nova’s scatterometry tools deliver highly accurate measurements of a user-defined location at very high rate and small measurement spot. While speed, accuracy and spot size requirements are often contradictory, Nova enables their coexistence to keep pace with the constant demand for better
