  • Patent number: 9429525
    Abstract: An optical module for surface inspection includes a first light source unit that illuminates a substrate with first light produced by a first light source and a first beam splitter that changes the path of the first light, a second light source unit that illuminates the substrate with second light polarized in a first direction, a direction of polarization changing unit that illuminates the substrate with the third light polarized in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a detection unit that detects fourth light which is a product of the first light reflecting from the substrate, fifth light which is a product of the second light scattered from the substrate, and sixth light which is a product of the third light scattered from the substrate. The third light is produced by changing the direction of polarization of the second light reflected from the inspected substrate.
    Type: Grant
