It is something that will be done.

The collimated laser beam enters the diffraction grating 7, and the transmitted light 8 (0th order diffracted light)
and diffracted light 9 (first-order diffracted light). Here, the grating intervals of the diffraction gratings 7 and 12 are the same. The transmitted light 8 directly enters the diffraction grating 12, and after the diffracted light 9 illuminates the measurement surface of the measurement object 10, its reflected light enters the diffraction grating 12, and these two lights cause interference. Here, the transmitted light 8 serves as a reference light, and the diffracted light 9 serves as an object light.

When there is a step difference of Δh on the measurement surface, the change in the optical path difference of the part of the light beam incident on the step part is 2Δh (Cos(i)), and the change in the order of the interference fringe is ΔN=2Δh(Cos(i) /λ))

技術的課題が生じていた。[0009] To overcome these drawbacks, phase shift methods have recently been frequently used. However, it is difficult to introduce the phase shift method into grazing incidence interferometers, and it has not yet been used. The present inventor has attempted to introduce a phase shift method into a grazing incidence interferometer by moving the measurement object by a known amount using an actuator, and has achieved certain results (see Japanese Patent Application No. 2-405559). However, a technical issue has arisen in which it is desirable to introduce a phase shift method into a grazing-incidence interferometer to further improve measurement accuracy, without physically moving the object to be measured.

By using this in combination, it is possible to provide a known amount of phase shift between the object beam 9 and the reference beam 8 in the grazing incidence interferometer, so that the phase shift method can be performed. Therefore, it becomes possible to measure the phase of one fringe or less, and it becomes possible to determine the unevenness of the step.

板22を通して回折格子12に入る。Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an optical system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The coherent light emitted from the laser light source 1 enters the polarizing plate 21, the objective lens 2, the pinhole 3, the total reflection mirrors 4 and 5, and the collimator lens 6, and becomes parallel light with linear polarization. This parallel light is separated by the diffraction grating 7 into 0th-order diffracted light and 1st-order diffracted light. Diffraction gratings 7 and 12 have the same grating spacing. The 0th-order diffracted light is treated as a reference beam 8, and the 1st-order diffracted beam is treated as an object beam 9. The 0th-order diffracted light directly enters the diffraction grating 12, and the 1st-order diffracted light passes through the phase plate 22 and irradiates the measurement surface, and then enters the diffraction grating 12 through the phase plate 22 again.

にすると、物体光9は、この位相板22を2回通過する
ため、偏光方向は90度変化する。The phase plate 22 has the function of shifting the phase of the obliquely incident object light 9 by 1/4 wavelength. Further, the optical crystal axis of this phase plate 22 is set at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the incident light. In this way, the object light 9 passes through this phase plate 22 twice, so the polarization direction changes by 90 degrees.

It is divided into second-order diffracted light and first-order diffracted light. Here, the first-order diffraction light of the reference light 8 and the zero-order diffraction light of the object light 9 overlap. However, since the polarization directions of the object light 9 and the reference light 8 are orthogonal, the object light 9 and the reference light 8 do not interfere here.

算される。Next, this light is made incident on a Babinet-Soleil correction plate which acts as a phase shifter 23. At this time, the object light 9 and the reference light 8 are made to coincide with the fast and slow axes of the Babinet-Soleil correction plate. Here, the phase shift method is performed by operating the Babinet-Soleil correction plate to shift the phase of the object beam 9 or the reference beam 8 by a known amount. Preferably, the reference light 8
The phase of is changed four times: 0, π/2, π, and 3π/2. Thereafter, the object beam 9 and the reference beam 8 are caused to interfere with each other by passing through a polarizing plate 24. The interfering light passes through lens 13 and pinhole 14
interference fringes are observed on the observation surface 15. The observed interference fringes are input into a computer via an image processing device and an A/D converter, and the phase of the object light is calculated using the above-mentioned formula.

もある。According to the present invention, by introducing a phase shift method into a grazing incidence interferometer, the interval between interference fringes becomes wider than that of a general interferometer, making it possible to measure the phase within one fringe.
Furthermore, there is an effect that the unevenness of the step can be determined. Furthermore, in the configuration of the present invention, a known amount of phase difference is provided between the object light and the reference light by using a plurality of optical elements such as the first and second polarizing plates, the phase plate, and the phase shifter. Therefore, compared to the case where an actuator is used to physically move an object by a known amount, it is possible to provide a more precise phase difference, which also has the effect of improving measurement accuracy.
