发明名称 Multi-functioned optical measurement device and method for optically measuring a plurality of parameters
摘要 The conventional white-light interferometer, confocal microscope, and ellipsometer are integrated as one device set in a functional sense, and the geometrical parameters conventionally measured may be deduced on the integrated device. Thus, the advantages and efficacies of equipment cost saving, on-line measuring, rapid monitoring, reduced manufacturing time, and reduced possibility of object damage during the manufacturing process may be secured, compared with the prior art.
