ABSTRACT:
Light scattered from illuminated spot on a patterned wafer is first passed through a di-electric filter and then by an optical fiber bundle to a detector. The di-electric filter controls the aperture of the light that is passed to a desired azimuth angle and the optical fiber further limits the aperture.
