The 1st example
Seeing also shown in Figure 1ly, is the generalized schematic that is used to implement about the formation of the interferometer of the depth of parallelism assay method of the 1st example.
As shown in FIG., this interferometer 100 adopts the interferometer main body 10 that is equipped with Michelson's type (Te Huaiman-Green's type), make detected body 20 keep moving up and down with a plurality of light reflection surface 20a~c and can be around 2 the detected body objective table 30 of deflection, computing machine 40 and monitor 50, and by detected body 20 is remained under the state on the detected body objective table 30, a plurality of light reflection surface 20a~c are carried out interference fringe as detected face respectively measure, thereby can measure the parallel inequality between these a plurality of light reflection surfaces accurately and constitute.
In addition, the detected body 20 in this example is a kind of parts that for example dispose the glass plate of thin thickness on pedestal with slight gap, and for example, light reflection surface 20a is light tight, and light reflection surface 20b, c are transparent surface.
Above-mentioned interferometer main body 10, but but comprise long laser instrument grade in an imperial examination 2 light sources 12 of short Halogen lamp LED grade in an imperial examination 1 light source 11 interference distances of interference distance, these two light sources 11,12 are carried out the camera head 19 of datum plate 16, condenser lens 17, imaging lens system 18 and CCD camera etc. of Beam Transformation mirror 13, beam expander 14, beam splitter 15, the reflection-type of the conversion of alternative formula.
In interferometer main body 10, make illumination light that the 1st light source 11 or the 2nd light source 12 exported to the light beam divisional plane 15a of beam splitter 15 incident, and in this light beam divisional plane 15a, be divided into transmitted beam and folded light beam 2 parts.And, make transmitted beam incident datum plate 16 and with its reflected light as reference light, and make detected of folded light beam incident and with its reflected light as object light, and utilize camera head 19 to obtain and measure with reference to the interference fringe that the interference of light produced of light and object light and to interference fringe image information by these.
In addition, datum plate 16 is supported by PZT objective table 25 by a plurality of piezoelectric element (not shown) that PZT driving circuit not shown in the figures is connected.And, in interferometer 100, be used to indication from computing machine 40, by piezoelectric element being applied certain voltage and drives this piezoelectric element in certain mark time, datum plate 16 is moved along optical axis direction, and make according to the view data that should move the interference fringe that change from CCD camera 19 to computing machine 40 outputs.
And, in this example, on detection bodies objective table 30, maintain catoptron 26 as main points.
As mentioned above, but but from the output light of the 1st short light source 11 of interference distance with from the output light of the 2nd long light source 12 of interference distance, utilize Beam Transformation mirror 13 to be converted, be disposed at Beam Transformation mirror 13 under the situation of illustrated position from the output light of the 2nd light source 12, it is (not shown in the figures to move to certain retreating position at Beam Transformation mirror 13 from illustrated position on the other hand; Down with) situation under from the output light of the 1st light source 11, respectively to beam expander 14 incidents.In addition, mobile both can the utilization manually of this Beam Transformation mirror 13 carried out, and also can carry out automatically according to the program of computing machine 40.
And, but the output light from above-mentioned the 1st light source 11 is short because of interference distance, so when being aplanatism when long just with reference to light with from the object light of certain light reflection surface 20a~c from datum plate 16, promptly the institute's allocation in the moving range of detected body objective table 30 only produces the interference fringe about certain light reflection surface 20a~c.Therefore, when moving of the above-below direction that utilizes detected body objective table 30 (arrow A), when forming the state that produces interference fringe about required light reflection surface 20a~c, just can not produce interference fringe from other light reflection surface 20a~c, resulting interference fringe information can be got rid of interference fringe and disturb, and can embody the surface configuration of required light reflection surface 20a~c well.
On the other hand, but the output light from above-mentioned the 2nd light source 12 is long because of interference distance, even so from datum plate 16 with reference to light and not long for aplanatism from the object light of certain light reflection surface 20a~c, also can produce interference fringe about certain light reflection surface 20a~c, can obtain interference fringe information at the gamut in the moving range of detected body objective table 30 about required light reflection surface 20a~c.Therefore, in this example, be used to obtain interference fringe information about each position of catoptron 26 from the output light of the 2nd light source 12, wherein this catoptron 26 follow the moving of detected body objective table 30 that move up and down and only mobile phase with distance.
Below will utilize the mensuration program of depth of parallelism assay method of the 1st example of above-mentioned interference instrument 100 to describe.
(1), at first, Beam Transformation mirror 13 is moved setting from position shown in Figure 1 to certain retreating position, but and will use as illumination light from the output light of the 1st short light source 11 of interference distance.That carries out detected body objective table 30 moves up and down operation and the operation of 2 axial deflections, to be used to the output light from the 1st light source 11, forms the interference fringe about the 1st light reflection surface 20a on the imaging apparatus of camera head 19.
(2), to utilizing the 1st light source 11 resulting, interference fringe about the 1st light reflection surface 20a is taken pictures by camera head 19, and the interference fringe image information (the 1st interference fringe image information) of gained is stored in the storer (not shown) of computing machine 40.
(3), then, under detected body objective table 30 keeps motionless state, make Beam Transformation mirror 13 move to position shown in Figure 1, but and will use as illumination light from the output light of the 2nd long light source 12 of interference distance.
(4), to utilizing the 2nd light source 12 resulting, take pictures by camera head 19 about the interference fringe of catoptron 26, and resulting interference fringe image information (the 2nd interference fringe image information) be stored in the storer of computing machine 40.
(5), make beam converter 13 move to from position shown in Figure 1 fixed retreating position, but and will use as illumination light from the output light of the 1st short light source 11 of interference distance.That carries out detected body objective table 30 moves up and down operation and the operation of 2 axial deflections, to be used to the output light from the 1st light source 11, forms the interference fringe about the 2nd light reflection surface 20b on the imaging apparatus of camera head 19.
(6), to utilizing the 1st light source 11 resulting, take pictures by camera head 19 about the interference fringe of the 2nd light reflection surface 20b, and the interference fringe image information (the 3rd interference fringe image information) of gained be stored in the storer of computing machine 40.
(7), then, under detected body objective table 30 keeps motionless state, make Beam Transformation mirror 13 move to position shown in Figure 1, but and will use as illumination light from the output light of the 2nd long light source 12 of interference distance.
(8), to utilizing the 2nd light source 12 resulting, take pictures by camera head 19 about the interference fringe of catoptron 26, and resulting interference fringe image information (the 4th interference fringe image information) be stored in the storer of computing machine 40.
(9), ask for respectively the poor of the inclination information of extracting out above-mentioned the 2nd interference fringe image information of storing from storer and above-mentioned the 4th interference fringe image information, and the difference of the inclination information of extracting out from above-mentioned the 1st interference fringe image information and above-mentioned the 3rd interference fringe image information is respectively proofreaied and correct according to this difference.
(10), according to needing, the 3rd light reflection surface 20c is carried out said procedure (5)~(8), obtain about the 5th interference fringe image information of the 3rd light reflection surface 20c and about the 6th interference fringe image information of the catoptron 26 of this moment, and carry out said procedure (9), the parallel inequality between this light reflection surface 20c and light reflection surface 20a or the light reflection surface 20b is proofreaied and correct.
In this example, as mentioned above, when the mensuration of each light reflection surface 20a~c, also carry out mensuration about catoptron 26, and obtain the slant correction data respectively, so can be to the inclination information of each light reflection surface 20a~c of being corrected according to this correction data poor, promptly the parallel inequality between each light reflection surface 20a~c is carried out high-precision mensuration.
In addition, the parallel inequality between light reflection surface 20b and the light reflection surface 20c is the uneven thickness of glass plate in previous example.
In above-mentioned example, but the output light from the 1st light source 11 is made of the short light of interference distance, but the output light from the 2nd light source 12 is made of the long light of interference distance, and these 2 outputs are changed when the mensuration of light reflection surface 20a~c and during the mensuration of catoptron 26 each other, but also can be as following illustrated example, but the multi-wavelength wave mode light that uses the variable wavelength LASER Light Source to be exported replaces the short light of above-mentioned interference distance, but single wavelength wave mode of using the variable wavelength LASER Light Source to be exported replaces the long light of above-mentioned interference distance, and the light that utilizes the multi-wavelength wave mode carries out the mensuration of light reflection surface, utilizes the light of single wavelength wave mode to carry out the mensuration of catoptron.So, can be as described later, the interferometers such as phenanthrene assistant type that use aplanatism elongated not are as interferometer.
