Abstract:
A method and system are presented for use in measuring one or more characteristics of patterned structures. The method comprises: providing measured data comprising data indicative of at least one Raman spectrum obtained from a patterned structure under measurements using at least one selected optical measurement scheme each with a predetermined configuration of at least one of illuminating and collected light conditions corresponding to the characteristic(s) to be measured; processing the measured data, and determining, for each of the at least one Raman spectrum, a distribution of Raman-contribution efficiency (RCE) within at least a part of the structure under measurements, being dependent on characteristics of the structure and the predetermined configuration of the at least one of illuminating and collected light conditions in the respective optical measurement scheme; analyzing the distribution of Raman-contribution efficiency and determining the characteristic(s) of the structure.

Claim (Index 16):
The system according to  claim 15 , comprising at least one illumination controller and collection controller configured and operable to controllably vary the at least one of the illuminating and collecting light conditions by varying at least one of the following: excitation wavelength; polarization; retardation; light beam shape; angular propagation of the illuminating light; angular propagation of the light being collected; and wavefront of light.
