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 13):
A control system for use in measuring one or more characteristics of patterned structures, the control system comprising:\n a processor unit configured to receive and process measured data comprising data indicative n Raman spectra obtained from a patterned structure under measurements using n optical measurement scheme each with a different configuration of at least one of illuminating and collected light conditions corresponding to said one or more characteristics to be measured, said processing of the measured data comprising determining n Raman-contribution efficiency distributions, RCE 1 (x,y,z), RCE 2 (x,y,z), . . . RCE n (x,y,z), across at least a part of the structure, for said n Raman spectra respectively, each of said Raman-contribution efficiency distributions being dependent on characteristics of the structure and the respective optical measurement scheme, thereby enabling determination of said one or more characteristics of the structure from a selected one or more of said n Raman-contribution efficiency distributions.
