Abstract

The invention relates to a high-speed sensing confocal microscopic measurement method, and belongs to the technical field of optical imaging and detection. The method comprises the steps of subtracting data groups on two sides of a confocal axial characteristic curve from each other in a staggered mode, dividing the data groups into a sensing characteristic curve by adding, determining an axial scanning interval as a staggered quantity when a sample is scanned axially, subtracting a maximum light intensity value and a second maximum light intensity value in axial scanning data after scanning is finished, dividing the maximum light intensity value and the second maximum light intensity value into an adding value, and accurately calculating the position of an extreme point of the confocal axial characteristic curve by using the sensing characteristic curve. The axial scanning interval set when the invention is used for scanning a sample is the size of the dislocation quantity, and the axial scanning interval is large, so that the imaging efficiency of the existing confocal measuring method can be obviously improved; meanwhile, the sensing characteristic curve of the method is very sensitive to the change of the axial position of the sample, so that the accuracy of calculating the position of the extreme point of the confocal axial characteristic curve by the method is higher than that of the existing confocal measuring method. The invention provides a new technical approach for the field of confocal imaging/detection.

Description

High-speed sensing confocal microscopic measurement method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a high-speed sensing confocal microscopic measurement method. The method can be used for measuring and positioning three-dimensional fine structures, micro steps, micro grooves, integrated circuit line widths, surface appearances, surfaces and the like. Belongs to the technical field of optical imaging and detection.
Background
The concept of confocal microscopy was first proposed by american scholars m.minsky in 1957 and obtained US patent No. US3013467 in 1961. The point light source, the point object and the point detector are arranged at conjugate positions corresponding to each other by the confocal microscope, so that a point illumination and point detection microscopic imaging system with unique chromatographic capability in optical microscopic imaging is formed.
The basic principle of the confocal microscope is shown in fig. 1, light emitted by a light source is focused on the surface of a measured sample by an objective lens through a spatial filtering pinhole and a spectroscope, measuring light which is reflected by the measured sample and carries sample information returns along the original path, and the measuring light from the sample is finally focused into a pinhole arranged in front of a photoelectric detector through the reflection of the spectroscope. The photoelectric detector is used for point detection and mainly receives measuring light from the focal point of the objective lens, and return light outside the focal point is blocked by the pinhole. When the object is located at the focal plane F, the light intensity received by the photodetector is the largest, and when the object deviates from the focal plane F, the reflected light is focused at a certain position in front of or behind the pinhole, and at this time, the photodetector only receives a small portion of light energy, that is, the light intensity detected by the object when out of focus is weaker than that at the focal plane, so that the confocal axial response curve 13 shown in fig. 2 can be detected by the photodetector, and the height position of the sample can be measured by obtaining the position of the extreme point of the confocal axial response curve.
Common methods for obtaining the position of the extreme point of the confocal axial response curve include a maximum value method, a centroid method, a gaussian function fitting method and a polynomial fitting method. The accuracy of the extreme point position of the curve obtained by the methods is influenced by the number of effective data points on a Main lobe (Main lobe) of the axial characteristic curve, and the accuracy of obtaining the extreme point position is seriously influenced if the number of the effective data points is too small. Increasing the number of effective points on the axial characteristic curve Main lobe to improve the accuracy will cause the reduction of the scanning efficiency. Therefore, the conventional method cannot achieve both accuracy and speed.
