  • Publication number: 20240133673
    Abstract: A semiconductor measurement apparatus may include an illumination unit configured to irradiate light to the sample, an image sensor configured to receive light reflected from the sample and output multiple interference images representing interference patterns of polarization components of light, an optical unit in a path through which the image sensor receives light and including an objective lens above the sample, and a control unit configured to obtain, by processing the multi-interference image, measurement parameters determined from the polarization components at each of a plurality of azimuth angles defined on a plane perpendicular to a path of light incident to the image sensor. The control unit may be configured to determine a selected critical dimension to be measured from a structure in the sample based on measurement parameters. The illumination unit and/or the optical unit may include a polarizer and a compensator having a ΒΌ wave plate.

  • Publication number: 20240119997
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip includes a write clock buffer, a voltage regulator, a process calibration circuit and a temperature calibration circuit. The voltage regulator generates plural regulated voltages. The process calibration circuit output one of the regulated voltages as a bias voltage of the write clock buffer, depending on a process variation of the semiconductor chip. The temperature calibration circuit track a temperature variation of the semiconductor chip in real time, performs analog calibration on the bias voltage from the process calibration circuit in real time depending on a result of the tracking, and outputs the analog-calibrated bias voltage to the write clock buffer.
