Description

The new method of the time response measurement film thickness based on laser induced chemical vapor deposition thermoelectric voltage
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of new method of the time response measurement film thickness based on laser induced chemical vapor deposition thermoelectric voltage, especially It is a kind of non-destructive measuring method of extension (or approximate extension) film thickness on measurement miscut substrate, belongs to the light of film thickness Learn field of measuring technique.
Background technology:
For in the optoelectronic film device of nanoscale and microelectronic films device, the thickness of thin film is either to device The performance of part is still to the stable all very crucial of technological parameter, it is necessary to measure the thickness of epitaxial film as accurately as possible.
At present, the measuring method of film thickness can mainly be divided into non optical method and optical meanss.
Non optical method mainly measures the thickness of thin film by scanning the observation such as probe, ultramicroscope.For example:Probe Scanning method (also referred to as consistency profiles) be using small mechanical probes contact measured thin film surface measuring the thickness of thin film, this The method of kind needs to prepare the film thickness step for testing, and therefore, the size of probe and the steep of step determine survey The precision of amount.Therefore, roughness to altofrequency thin film and thin films step prepare undesirable sample, it is impossible to obtain good Test effect, and the method can also bring certain damage to the surface of thin film.
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is also commonly used for the thickness for detecting thin film, and this method is using focusing electron beam As probe, the scanning of raster pattern being done in tested film surface, detects two for being excited by incident electron in tested film surface Secondary electronics, after amplifying data and processing, obtains the scanning electron image of a secondary high-amplification-factor, by SEM viewing film The transverse section of sample can obtain the information of film thickness.Sample and its surface conductance are required using SEM viewing film sample, because When this measures to non-conductor thin film, the one layer of conductive metal film of plated surface in tested thin film is needed, this can affect measurement Precision.
With respect to non optical method, had using the thickness of optical method for measuring thin film and sample nondestructive is hindered.Mesh Before, mainly there are spectrographic method, Ellipsometric and optical thin film position phase method for the optical meanss of measured film thickness.
Spectrographic method can cause dual-beam or multiple beam according in thin film with the transmission (or reflection) of substrate interface light beam Interfere, the thin film of different-thickness will have different spectral reflectivities (or absorbance), by detect the spectral characteristic of thin film come The thickness of thin film is derived in inverting.The absorbance of current thin film and reflectance are mainly surveyed using grating test analysis system Examination, and required according to different measuring, spectrographic method is needed by selecting suitable optimization method or using multiple method simultaneous, More high-precision measured film thickness can be realized.In addition, the method also requires that film layer is thicker to produce certain dry Vibration is related to, and is only used for measuring weak absorbing film.The measuring principle of Ellipsometric is to pass through thin film by detecting polarized beam Reflection (or transmission) afterwards its polarization state change come inverting derive thin film thickness.High-selenium corn substrate is measured using Ellipsometric On dielectric film thickness when, its certainty of measurement is than the high an order of magnitude of optical interference method, or even the spirit with atomic level Sensitivity.However, Ellipsometric has a thickness cycle, if measurement range exceedes this cycle, the thickness of thin film will There are multiple uncertain values, therefore, film sample of the thickness in 10nm or so is measured using Ellipsometric, measurement effect is optimal. Not only need in this way reflective light intensity is accurately measured, and need accurately to measure analysis polarization intensity, it means that need High-precision mobile optics is wanted, measurement cost is higher.Optical thin film position phase method refers to be interfered using interferometer detection Signal mutually carrys out inverting by measuring reflection (or transmission) position asking for reflection (or transmission) the position phase relevant with film thickness Derive the exact value of film thickness.For Ellipsometric, measurement apparatus simple structure, low cost, it is suitable for application High-acruracy survey in thickness of multilayer film.As optical thin film position phase method is limited to the sensitivity of the non-linear position phase of thin film, reason Only has 0.18 μm by the minimum Film thickness measurements for being above capable of accurately repeats realization, for the thinner nano thin-film sample of thickness Thickness measure, its measurement error is larger.
Therefore, the material impact based on film thickness to material devices performance, and conventional films method for measuring thickness each Drawback is planted, a kind of certainty of measurement height in the range of nanoscale is needed, and the non-destructive measuring method of low cost carrys out accurate measurement The thickness of thin film.
Content of the invention:
It is an object of the invention to overcoming deficiency of the prior art, proposition one kind can be obtained and is grown on miscut substrate Thin film thickness nondestructive measurement new method.The scope of the film thickness that can measure in this way is in 50nm 1000nm, measurement cost is cheap, and certainty of measurement is higher, and convenient and swift.Using technical scheme be:
The working mechanism of the present invention is:Thin to heat in the thermal source of film surface one transient state of generation after laser irradiation thin film The upper surface of film, forms thermograde in the upper and lower surface of thin film.As thin film is relatively thin, and thermal phonon diffusion in the film Migration is more much bigger than the speed of diffusive migration in air dielectric, and therefore, the change in the temperature field of thin film upper and lower surface is main Come from thermal phonon to be moved towards the lower surface of thin film by thin film upper table, the motion of thermal phonon causes the upper and lower surface of thin film finally to reach To thermal balance.Then the inventive method is multiplied by thermal phonon by measuring thermal phonon diffusive migration to the time required for thermal balance Thermal diffusion speed in the film, so as to obtain the thickness of thin film.
The transient state thermal source of film surface is produced using the pulse width short-pulse laser irradiation thin film ultraviolet less than 20ns.Purple Outer laser penetration depth in the film is little, and short pulse may insure during photothermal deformation that thermal phonon also has little time diffusion and moves Move, the upper surface of thin film surface temperature moment after photon energy is absorbed reaches maximum.
Thermal diffusion makes thin film upper and lower surface progressively reach thermal balance, and the time required for this process is by measurement in thin film The die-away time of the horizontal photovoltage produced by surface obtains.The thin film for being grown in miscut substrate surface is off-diagonal due to existing Seebeck coefficient Szx, in temperature difference T that thin film upper and lower surface is produced0(t)-TdT () can produce laterally electricity in film surface induction Pressure response (referred to as LITV signal), its size U (t), such as following formula:
Sab, ScCorresponding thin-film material is in ab crystal face and the Seebeck coefficient along c-axis crystal orientation, and the exposure that l and d is respectively thin film is long Degree and the thickness of thin film, θ is the mis-cut angle of miscut substrate;A is the constant unrelated with the time, T0(t) and TdWhen () is respectively t t The temperature of unkind film upper and lower surface, therefore, because thermal diffusion, U (t) is gradually reduced and synchronous declines with the thin film upper and lower surface temperature difference Subtract.
Detection obtains LITV signal by peak atenuation to peak value as the LITV signal produced by the temperature difference is with the decay of time 1/e (wherein:E ≈ 2.71828) when required time τddThe damping time constant of LITV signal can be referred to as again). The die-away time τ of LITV signaldRelation such as following formula with the thickness d of thin film:
D is the thermal diffusion coefficient of thin-film material, and K is constant.
Using the following two kinds mode, the measured value of film thickness is obtained by the die-away time of LITV signal.First, by thin film The value of thermal diffusion coefficient and the measured value of the die-away time of LITV signal, be directly substituted into the thickness that (2) formula is calculated thin film. Second, choosing the film sample 15 of the same material of known thickness as standard sample, detection criterion sample is in laser spoke According under LITV signal damping time constant, by thickness d and the τ of thin filmdSubduplicate linear relationship, such as formula (3), Obtain the constant K of thin film to be measured.The damping time constant of the LITV signal of other thin film to be measured is measured, can be obtained by (3) formula Obtain the exact value of film thickness.In this way while the value of the thermal diffusion coefficient of thin film can also be obtained.As following formula:
