Provided is a holographic microscope including an input optical system configured to emit polarized input beam, a first beam splitter configured to emit an object beam by reflecting a portion of the polarized input beam, and emit a reference beam by transmitting a remaining portion of the polarized input beam, a reference optical system configured to separate the reference beam into a first reference beam and a second reference beam, a camera configured to receive the first reference beam and the second reference beam and the object beam that is reflected by an inspection object, the camera including a micro polarizer array, wherein a first polarization axis of the first reference beam is perpendicular to a second polarization axis of the second reference beam.

Holographic microscope and manufacturing method of semiconductor device using the same

A super-resolution holographic microscope includes a light source configured to emit input light, a diffraction grating configured to split the input light into first diffracted light and second diffracted light, a mirror configured to reflect the first diffracted light, a wafer stage arranged on an optical path of the second diffracted light and on which a wafer is configured to be arranged, and a camera configured to receive the first diffracted light that is reflected by the mirror and the second diffracted light that is reflected by the wafer to generate a plurality of hologram images of the wafer.

Super-resolution holographic microscope

An inspection apparatus includes: a light source that generates and outputs light; a stage on which an inspection target is arranged; an irradiation optical system that irradiates light from the light source to the inspection target; a detector that receives the light diffracted from the inspection target and generates diffraction image; and a detector moving device configured to move the detector on a z-axis, which is an optical axis of the light, and an x-y plane perpendicular to the z-axis. Furthermore, while the detector moves on the x-y plane and the z-axis through the detector moving device, the detector generates a plurality of the diffraction images with different positions on the x-y plane and the z-axis with respect to the inspection target, and thus simultaneously implements phase retrieval and super resolution of diffraction images.
