Abstract

In this paper, we present a spectroscopic Mueller matrix ellipsometry measurement of a silicon line grating with nominal pitch of 600 nm and line width 100 nm. An uncertainty analysis is performed on the measurement results. The results are compared to critical dimension atomic force microscopy (CD-AFM) measurements. Except for one of the gratings, the CD-AFM and scatterometry measurements lie within each other’s uncertainties
