Comparison of Frequency Response Characteristics of an Optical Scatterometer and a Mechanical Profilometer

Source

The frequency response characteristics of an angle-resolved optical scatterometer and a mechanical profilometer are examined. The transfer function for the scatterometer is found to be constant within the spatial frequency bandwidth of the system. The mechanical profilometer is found to have a nonlinear, lowpass-like response. A computational model is used to examine the effects of the nonlinear stylus response on realistic surfaces.
