Abstract:
An inspection system including an optical system (optics) to direct light from an illumination source to a sample, and to direct light reflected/scattered from the sample to one or more image sensors. At least one image sensor of the system is formed on a semiconductor membrane including an epitaxial layer having opposing surfaces, with circuit elements formed on one surface of the epitaxial layer, and a pure boron layer and a doped layer on the other surface of the epitaxial layer. The image sensor may be fabricated using CCD (charge coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology. The image sensor may be a two-dimensional area sensor, or a one-dimensional array sensor. The image sensor can be included in an electron-bombarded image sensor and/or in an inspection system.

Claim (Index 18):
An inspection system comprising:\n an illumination source; optics including an objective lens, the optics configured to direct and focus radiation from the illumination source onto a sample; a detector configured to receive reflected or scattered light from the sample, wherein the optics are further configured to collect, direct, and focus the reflected or scattered light onto the detector, the detector including one or more image sensors, at least one image sensor including a semiconductor membrane comprising an epitaxial layer and including opposing first and second surfaces, the semiconductor membrane including circuit elements formed on the first surface of the epitaxial layer a dopant formed in the second surface of the epitaxial layer, and a pure boron layer formed on the semiconductor membrane such that a portion of the boron is diffused into the epitaxial layer through the second surface.
