Abstract

This paper describes the calibration of an automatic inspection system to size 5X reticle defects down to half-micron resolution, the defect printability limit of the stepper lens with which the 5X reticles are to be used. An enhanced technique using image analysis for defect sizing is also described. Whilst enabling more accurate defect sizing, this method is resolution limited in automatic operation.
