Patent ID: 8178860

Claim:
An inspection system for creating images of a substrate, the inspection system comprising: a light source for directing an incident light onto the substrate, a light source timing control for controlling a pulse timing of the incident light, a stage for holding the substrate and moving the substrate under the incident light, the substrate thereby reflecting the incident light as a reflected light, a stage position sensor for reporting a position of the stage, a stage position control for controlling the position of the stage, a time domain integration sensor for receiving the reflected light, a time domain integration sensor timing control for controlling a line shift of the time domain integration sensor, and a control system in communication with the stage position control and the time delay integration sensor timing control, for setting the position of the stage and the line shift of the time delay integration sensor, such that the stage and the time delay integration sensor integrates within a single line shift reflected light from more than one pulse of the incident light from the light source to form an image.
