A computer algorithm using a volume integral equation in the spectral domain is developed for the analysis of the scattering properties of plane objects in the shape of elliptical cylinders on the surface of the wafer or near it. The capabilities of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated for the case of particles of different materials and different shapes.
