ion-Induced Photon Emission Microscopy (IPEM) is a new technique for studying radiation sensitive regions of microelectronic devices. The traditional Radiation Effect Microscope (REM) technology uses the focused micron-sized beam to perform scanning irradiation on different areas of the device, so as to obtain the sensitive area distribution of the radiation effect of the device. The IPEM technique, in turn, uses a large-area, unfocused ion beam to irradiate the device, and indirectly determines the ion incidence position by generating secondary photons through interaction with a scintillator film covering the surface of the device. Compared with a focusing type microbeam, the IPEM system has a relatively simple structure, does not need focusing and scanning, has relatively low technical difficulty and cost, and has certain technical advantages.

The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in a specific case to those of ordinary skill in the art.
The method for measuring the thickness and the uniformity of the scintillator film of the IPEM system is based on the IPEM system established at the HI-13 serial accelerator end of the Chinese atomic energy research institute, and carries out single-particle transient test on a gold silicon surface barrier Detector (DUT) as shown in figure 1. The IPEM system comprises a transient test system and an optical system, wherein the transient test system mainly comprises a gold silicon surface barrier detector, a Bias-T providing an interface for applying Bias voltage to a DUT and an oscilloscope for performing transient data acquisition, the optical system mainly comprises a scintillator film, a beam-limiting and photon-transmitting right-angle prism with holes, a microscope tube for collecting and transmitting photons and an sCMOS camera for detecting photons, a sample platform and a three-dimensional displacement platform are equipped, and an ion beam irradiates the gold silicon surface barrier detector after passing through the right-angle prism to limit the beam.
As shown in fig. 2, the method for measuring the thickness and uniformity of the scintillator film applied to the IPEM system includes:
s10, before the experiment, the positions of the rectangular prism and the gold silicon surface barrier detector are aligned by using the infrared laser coincident with the beam line;
s20, adjusting the change of the ion beam from a high fluence rate to a low fluence rate during the experiment;
s30, detecting the light spot distribution generated after the ions irradiate the scintillator film through an sCMOS camera after irradiation, and measuring to obtain the uniformity information of the scintillator thickness;
and S40, converting the acquired transient signal into a transient current waveform through the impedance of an oscilloscope, and calculating the electric charge amount and converting energy to obtain the thickness of the scintillator film.
According to the method, the sCMOS camera is used for detecting the light spot distribution generated after ions irradiate the scintillator film, and the uniformity information of the scintillator thickness is obtained through measurement. Meanwhile, in order to quantitatively obtain the accurate thickness of the scintillator film in the IPEM system, a transient test circuit consisting of the Bias-T and an oscilloscope is used for recording transient signals of the gold silicon surface barrier detector. The energy of ions deposited in the gold silicon surface barrier detector can be obtained through energy conversion, so that the energy of ions lost in the scintillator film is obtained, and the thickness of the scintillator film can be obtained through analog calculation. The method comprises the steps of qualitatively analyzing the thickness and uniformity of a film in real time through an sCMOS camera, and quantitatively measuring the thickness of a scintillator film off line by using transient pulses captured by a gold silicon surface barrier detector; and helps to assess the spatial resolution of the IPEM system.
For example, the specific protocol of the irradiation experiment is:
(1) before the experiment, the positions of the rectangular prism and the gold silicon surface barrier detector are aligned by using infrared laser coincident with a beam line. As shown in fig. 1, the three-dimensional displacement platform is adjusted to enable the laser to be emitted from the right-angle prism with the hole, and the sample platform is moved to enable the laser to be aligned with the central position of the gold silicon surface barrier detector. And then, continuously adjusting the three-dimensional displacement platform to focus the microscope, enabling the sCMOS camera to observe the scintillator film on the surface of the gold silicon surface barrier detector, recording the coordinate position of the displacement platform at the moment, and ensuring that the area observed by the camera in the experiment is the area of the beam irradiation device.
(2) In the experiment, the ion beam is first adjusted to a high fluence rate (e.g., 10) 6 ions/cm 2 S) the scintillator luminescence phenomenon can be observed with the sCMOS camera. Then gradually adjusting down the fluence rate, and observing the light-emitting condition of the light spot in real time by using an sCMOS camera, wherein the fluence rate is 10 for example 3 ions/cm 2 S is the spot formed by the distinguishable individual ions. Meanwhile, the period and the amplitude of the instrument can be quickly and automatically set by using automatic setting on the oscilloscope according to the characteristics of the transient pulse signal, the falling edge is selected to trigger in the trigger mode, and the trigger level of-1.4 mV is selected, so that the transient pulse signal can be detected and is higher than the noise signal. When the two signals can be stably detected, data recording can be carried out through a remote control computer.
(3) After irradiation, the problem of thickness uniformity of the scintillator film can be indirectly explained directly through brightness and halo distribution of the collected light spot images. And converting the acquired transient signal into a transient current waveform through the impedance of an oscilloscope, and directly obtaining the thickness of the scintillator film through the modes of charge quantity calculation, energy conversion and the like.
As shown in fig. 3, the light spot image detected by the sCMOS camera is shown, wherein the light spot at point B is brighter than the light spot at point a, which indicates that the deposition energy of the ions is larger at this point, and the thickness of the scintillator film at point B is thicker than that of the scintillator film at point a; and the spot halo range of the point B is larger, which shows that the thickness uniformity of the scintillator film at the point B is worse than that at the point A.
