Patent abstract
The present invention provides a probe beam profile—modulated optical reflectivity metrology system having a modulated pump source for exciting the sample. A separate probe beam is directed to interact with the sample in a manner so that the rays within the probe beam create a spread of angles of incidence. A detector array simultaneously measures intensities of the rays within the reflected/diffracted probe beam simultaneously at different angles of incidence. The intensity and angle of incidence information is used to analyze the sample.
