vertical cross-section through a line of features. Allow the scanner to
scan continuously, which will update the Cross Section plot each pass
through the frame.
Figure 8-13 shows the upward scan (blue marker) and downward
re-trace (red marker) data. The markers are used to measure the
difference in the acquired data at a given point on the Y axis. The blue
marker was placed on the edge of a feature while the scan was moving
upwards. The red marker was placed on the same feature during the
downward scan.

While scanning in one direction, focus on one step of the grating. As the
scan data is plotted, position a marker on this edge. Wait for the scan in
the opposite direction to occur and position a second marker on the
same edge after the plot has been updated. In the example below, about
2 microns of hysteresis can be measured using this method.
After increasing or decreasing the Y Hysteresis term, alignment of the
individual edges should be confirmed across the full range of the Y axis.
It may be necessary to update the hysteresis term more than once before
all edges become aligned in both the upward and downward scans.
Y Sensitivity
Using the Vertical Cross Section tool in the Realtime Images window
(from the Tools menu or Toolbar), measure the top-to-bottom distance
of a set of features across the scan (
Figure 8-14 ).
