  • Abstract
    Novel metrology has been developed for measuring in situ film thickness and absorption coefficient simultaneously. Designed specifically for photolithography processes, this metrology if applied to photoresist films, can measure thickness and photoactive compound concentration in situ, which are important parameters for photolithography process control and diagnosis
