Fast simulation method for parameter reconstruction in optical metrology

Optics 2013-04-17 v1 Computational Physics

Abstract

A method for automatic computation of parameter derivatives of numerically computed light scattering signals is demonstrated. The finite-element based method is validated in a numerical convergence study, and it is applied to investigate the sensitivity of a scatterometric setup with respect to geometrical parameters of the scattering target. The method can significantly improve numerical performance of design optimization, parameter reconstruction, sensitivity analysis, and other applications.
