Technical Field

Background
The 'Zhongxing event' occurred in 2018 lets people realize that the autonomous development of the semiconductor industry plays a crucial role in national economic development and industrial safety. Through decades of development, the performance of semiconductor devices is greatly improved. With the improvement of performance, the feature size of the device structure is smaller and smaller, and the device structure is more and more complex. To ensure device quality and yield, three-dimensional feature sizes of semiconductor devices need to be measured and analyzed.
Semiconductor device feature sizes are typically on the order of μm to nm. The traditional measuring methods include an electron microscope, a scanning tunneling microscope and an atomic force microscope, and the methods can only measure a surface structure and can only adopt destructive means for an internal structure, and meanwhile, the measuring speed is low. In recent years, nondestructive measurement techniques based on optical methods, such as white light interferometry, spectral reflectance, spectral scattering, laser confocal methods, and the like, have become mature. Such optical methods typically require precise focusing to obtain accurate measurements, and require refocusing when measuring surfaces or internal structures of different heights of the semiconductor device, affecting the speed of measurement. Meanwhile, the white light interference method and the spectral reflection method can only obtain the depth information of the groove or hole structure, and the spectral scattering method can only obtain the average result of parameters such as the line width, the aperture, the side wall angle and the like of the array structure, so that the structure information of the semiconductor device cannot be completely and really reflected.
The applicant has found that the above-mentioned prior art has the following technical drawbacks
(1) The traditional method has low measurement speed and cannot measure the internal structure of a device under the condition of not damaging a sample;
(2) an optical method capable of realizing nondestructive measurement usually needs accurate focusing, and repeated focusing is needed when the surface or the internal structure of the micro-nano device with different heights is measured, so that the measurement speed is influenced;
(3) optical methods typically reflect only partial structural information of the sample to be measured or average parametric information of the array structure.
