Abstract
A system for in-situ measurement of a curvature of a surface of a wafer comprises: a multiwavelength light source module, adapted to emit incident light comprising a plurality of wavelengths; an optical setup configured to combine the incident light into a single beam and to guide the single beam towards a surface of a wafer such that the single beam hits the surface at a single measuring spot on the surface; and a curvature determining unit, configured to determine a curvature of the surface of the wafer from reflected light corresponding to the single beam being reflected on the surface at the single measuring spot.
