More Information
Summary:Provided is a semiconductor measurement apparatus that includes: a lighting unit comprising a light source, and a light modulator configured to decompose a light output by the light source into a plurality of wavelength bands and generate an output light of at least two selected wavelength bands; a first optical unit comprising an illumination polarizing element disposed in a path of the output light; a second optical unit comprising a beam splitter, an objective lens configured to allow light having passed through the first optical unit to be incident onto a sample, and a self-interference generator disposed on a path of a reflected light; a sensor configured to output an original image representing an interference pattern of light having passed through the self-interference generator; and a controller configured to process the original image and determine a selected critical dimension of a structure included in the sample.
