Abstract

The capabilities of a one-dimensional filtering method for the detection of defects in periodic structures are derived by a detailed theoretical analysis. The signal-to-noise ratio is evaluated as a function of system parameters and a way is described to overcome the disturbing effect of phase defects. Finally, an extremely simple system is described which demonstrated the detection of defects below 2 μm. This demonstrated detection capability was limited by the available test mask and not by the detection system.
