Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optical measurement, and particularly relates to a device and a method for simultaneously measuring the thickness and the refractive index of a film.
Background
With the vigorous development of material science and technology, in order to meet the urgent needs in the fields of microelectronics, optoelectronics, new energy and the like, films are widely applied in the fields of optical engineering, mechanical engineering, communication engineering, bioengineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, medical engineering and the like. The thickness of the film is not only one of the key parameters in the film production, but also determines the application performance of the film in the fields of mechanics, electromagnetism, photoelectricity, optics and the like. Accurate measurement of film thickness has been one of the important links in film production and application.
In 1941, n.schwartz et al proposed a contact probe Method (n.schwartz, r.brown, "a Stylus Method for evaluating changes in Surface profile of an object," in transaction of the observation Vacuum Symposium and Second International convergence (permamon, new york,1941), which has the advantages of good stability, high resolution, large measurement range, etc.; however, the probe method includes a probe based on mechanical movement, and thus, a secondary process is required for measuring the thin film, and the thin film is damaged to some extent by the movement of the probe on the surface of the thin film. Therefore, the non-contact measurement method can quickly replace the contact measurement method for measuring the thickness of the thin film.
In 2013, maxidc et al, university of aerospace, Nanjing, disclose an ultrasonic film thickness measuring instrument and a measuring method thereof (Chinese patent application number: 201310198294.9), wherein ultrasonic pulses are emitted to the surface of an oil film to generate resonance, and the thickness of the oil film is measured by measuring the relevant characteristics of the reflected pulses; however, the method is only suitable for the measurement of the liquid mode, different models need to be established for films with different thickness ranges, and the demodulation difficulty is high.
Optical measurement has the advantage of high accuracy and is beginning to be widely used in the field of film thickness measurement. In 2012, the great company of the Beijing east photoelectric technology Co., Ltd discloses a film thickness measuring device and method (Chinese patent application No. 201210080754.2), which adopts a mode of combining a space optical path and an optical fiber optical path, performs light splitting treatment on a color light source through a prism to irradiate the surface of a film, and measures the thickness of the film by measuring the characteristics of different reflected lights. The method expands the frequency spectrum range of the sampling point of the device for measuring the film thickness and improves the resolution ratio.
As a part of optical measurement methods, white light interferometry has been developed in the field of film thickness measurement because of its absolute measurement advantage. The basic principle of the white light interferometry is as follows: the method comprises the steps that a scanning mirror is connected to the tail end of one arm of a white light interferometer to serve as a sensing arm, the length of the other arm is fixed to serve as a reference arm, the length of the sensing arm is changed by moving the scanning mirror, when the optical path of light transmitted in the sensing arm is matched with the optical path of light transmitted in the reference arm, the maximum interference peak value occurs, and the measurement of relevant parameters is achieved by identifying the position of the peak value. In 2008, Peter j.de Groot et al of Zygo corporation, usa, discloses a Scanning interferometry for film thickness and surface measurement (US Patent 7448799), which adopts a film thickness measuring method based on white light interference principle, and utilizes a fourier transform method to extract two peak values from an interference light intensity map, the method is not affected by film thickness, and is suitable for measuring films with thicknesses greater than and less than the light source coherence length. In 2014, jia herian, university of Shandong, et al, disclose a system for measuring film thickness by a broad-spectrum optical interference method (Chinese patent application number: 201410290494.1), in which a Fabry-Perot interferometer is formed between a reflector and a collimator, and the thickness of a film to be measured can be obtained by measuring the cavity length of the Fabry-Perot before and after the film to be measured is placed under the reflector.
In 2017, the subject group of the applicant of the invention provides a common-path self-calibration film thickness measuring device and a measuring method (Chinese patent application No. CN201710277954.0), the method utilizes a common-path wide-spectrum optical interferometer and a laser interferometer to realize the measurement of the film thickness, has the advantages of common path, no need of calibrating devices and the like, but the method can not eliminate the influence of laser transmission light, causes the cracking of laser interference signals and influences the thickness measuring precision; in the same year, the applicant of the present invention has proposed a polarization-multiplexing common-path self-calibration film thickness measurement apparatus and measurement method (chinese patent application No. CN201710277939.6), which can further eliminate the influence of transmitted light on the measurement result on the basis of the original advantages, but the apparatus construction is complicated.
The invention provides a device and a method for simultaneously measuring the thickness and the refractive index of a film, which can simultaneously realize the non-contact measurement of the thickness and the refractive index of the film. The design of the differential structure in the film thickness measuring probe module reduces the influence of the film thickness measuring probe on the external environment, the output signal of the narrow linewidth laser output module is directly input into the demodulation interferometer module, the interference signal common light path is met, the influence of laser transmission light and laser multiple reflection light in the film thickness measuring probe module on the quality of the interference signal is avoided, and the film thickness tracing precision is improved; the interference of the wide-spectrum light transmission light in the film thickness measuring probe module on the characteristic signal peak is avoided by controlling the length of the tail fiber of the film thickness measuring probe, and the accuracy of characteristic signal identification is improved. The invention can be widely used in the field of film production and other fields needing high-precision measurement of the thickness of the film.

The optical interferometry is the distance measurement method with the highest precision at present, but the laser interferometry cannot realize the measurement of absolute quantity due to the longer coherence length of the laser light source. White light interferometry uses a broad spectrum light source with low coherence. Because the coherence length of the low coherence light source is very small, the shape of the interference fringe output after interference is a sinusoidal oscillation modulated by a gaussian envelope, and the fringe has a main maximum value corresponding to the position where the optical path difference between the two arms of the interferometer is zero. Because of the harsh requirement on the optical path difference of two arms of the interferometer, the position of the central fringe provides a good-quality reference position for the measurement of the physical quantity, and the absolute quantity of the change of the measured physical quantity can be obtained according to the change of the position of the central fringe. Thus, the measurement of the physical quantity in the white light interferometry system is converted into a measurement of the change in the position of the central fringe of the interference signal. The invention adopts the design of double light sources, as shown in figure 5, in the scanning process of the position scanning device, white light interference signals and laser interference signals are recorded simultaneously, and the actual moving distance of the position scanning device can be calibrated with high precision by reading the number of the fringes of the laser interference signals.
