| Research Abstract |
A spectroscopic Mueller matrix polarimeter which is based on a scatterometry technique is proposed to evaluate the surface profiles of nanostructures. In general, it is difficult to image surface profile structures that are smaller than the wavelength. The surface profiles of nanostructures can be measured by detecting polarization properties based on Mueller matrices. A nanostructure profile is determined from the Mueller matrix which expresses all the polarization properties of the sample by experimental measurements and calculated values using rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA).
