Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and classifying defects based on the phase of dark field scattering from a sample are described herein. In some embodiments, throughput is increased by detecting and classifying defects with the same optical system. In one aspect, a defect is classified based on the measured relative phase of scattered light collected from at least two spatially distinct locations in the collection pupil. The phase difference, if any, between the light transmitted through any two spatially distinct locations at the pupil plane is determined from the positions of the interference fringes in the imaging plane. The measured phase difference is indicative of the material composition of the measured sample. In another aspect, an inspection system includes a programmable pupil aperture device configured to sample the pupil at different, programmable locations in the collection pupil.

Abstract: A Delta-Sigma modulator architecture is disclosed that uses interleaving and dynamic matching algorithms to address the needs of multi-mode, multi-band high bandwidth transmitters. The proposed architecture also supports a novel software defined transmitter architecture based on an interleaved Delta-Sigma modulator to generate RF signals. The proposed architecture leverages interleaving concepts to relax subcomponent clock rates without changing the effective oversampling ratio, thus, making it easier to reach aggressive dynamic range goals across wider bandwidths at higher frequencies. The DEM algorithm helps to randomize mismatch errors across all interleaved paths and improves substantially the signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, a tunable bandpass filter can be added to reject out-of-band emissions.
