Abstract: Systems and methods for skewed basis set fitting may include obtaining measured absorption data indicative of an amount of absorption of light by a sample gas at each of multiple frequencies, determining an absorption dependent cavity time constant indicative of a skew to the measured absorption data caused by light reflections within a cavity in which the sample gas is contained, obtaining reference absorption data including basis sets indicative of reference amounts of light absorbed by each of multiple gases at each of the multiple frequencies, skewing the reference absorption data based on the absorption dependent cavity time constant to generate skewed reference absorption data, and fitting the measured absorption data to the skewed reference absorption data to identify an amount of at least one constituent gas within the sample gas.

Abstract: Heights on a surface of a photomask are measured using broadband light interferometry. The heights include heights of patterned areas of the photomask. A focal map is produced from the measured heights on the surface of the photomask. To produce the focal map, the measured heights of the patterned areas are adjusted based on fill factors for the patterned areas. The photomask is inspected for defects, using the focal map.

Abstract: A photomask-inspection system includes a vacuum chamber and a stage, disposed in the vacuum chamber, to support a photomask and to translate the photomask horizontally and vertically. The system also includes an EUV objective, disposed in the vacuum chamber, to collect EUV light from the photomask to inspect the photomask for defects and an optical height sensor, at least partially disposed in the vacuum chamber, to measure heights on a surface of the photomask. The system further includes a stage controller to translate the stage horizontally and vertically in accordance with a focal map for the photomask produced using the measured heights on the surface of the photomask.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for laser probing of a DUT is disclosed. The system enables laser voltage imaging state mapping of devices within the DUT. A selected area of the DUT is illuminating a while the DUT is receiving test signals causing certain of the active devices to modulate. Light reflected from the DUT is collected and is converted into an electrical signal. Phase information is extracting from the electrical signal and a two-dimensional image is generated from the phase information, wherein the two-dimensional image spatially correlates to the selected area.
