Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of device and method that measures the determinand surface profile, refer to that especially a kind of white-light fringe of analyzing is to measure the device and method of determinand surface profile.
Background technology
Whether measuring the determinand surface profile, can to allow the user understand the determinand surface profile normal or meet user's expection, and measure the method that the technology of determinand surface profile is to use white light vertical scanning to interfere (vertical scanning interferometry) to analyze at present.White light is meant the wideband light of wavelength 400-700 nanometer (nm), owing to the length that the mutual interference of white light is required is extremely short, is about the 8-10 nanometer, so optical path difference needs can produce tangible interference less than interfering required length mutually.So method can be in order to observing the variation of very low range, and can provide the measurement of surface profile accurately to determinand.
The analysis of white light vertical scanning can be distinguished into two big technology: the crest sensing is analyzed (peak-sensinganalysis) and spectrum analysis (spectrum analysis), these two kinds of methods are all utilized beam splitter and white light area are divided into measurement light and reference light, measure only in order to be incident to the determinand surface, reference light is in order to be incident to the canonical reference face, measure light and the optical path difference of reference light and the variation of writing down interference strength in the light path by measuring by modulation, position when record produces the maximum interference contrast, thus three-dimensional surface profile set up out.
No. the 4340306th, United States Patent (USP), denomination of invention, [Optical system for surfacetopography measurement], it uses the crest sensing to analyze to detect maximum interference contrast (intensity) institute occurrence positions, to reconstruct the surface profile of determinand.Yet, when measuring the high surface profile in big rank,, tend to expend a large amount of measurement time for keeping certain measurement accuracy.
As shown in Figure 1, No. the 5398113rd, United States Patent (USP), denomination of invention [Method and apparatusfor surface topography measurement by spatial-frequency analysisof interferograms], it uses spectrum analysis and utilizes the conversion of Fu Li leaf (FourierTransform) and least square fitting method, obtain the initial phase difference of different wave length in the corresponding white light, to reconstruct determinand surface profile height.Yet this technology is that a plurality of continuous wavelengths are carried out the Fu Liye conversion, supposes, single pixel is finished the required operation times of Fu Liye conversion and is at least N*10g if N scanning information arranged 2* N time, the computing that finish least square fitting then needs N time operation times, then finishes the required operation times of single pixel and is at least N 2* 10g 2* N time.Therefore, when measuring the high surface profile in big rank,, still can expend a large amount of operation time and memory space because the data quantity and the operation times of required computing still can't effectively reduce.
Because above-mentioned two kinds of technology that measure determinand surface profile height all need a large amount of operation time and memory space, there is no than faster, efficient improving one's methods, this can't satisfy user's demand.

Embodiment
The device and method that the present invention measures the determinand surface profile is that the interference signal at a plurality of specific single wavelength carries out the Fu Liye conversion, distribute with the initial phase of obtaining the specific single wavelength of plural number, utilize the method for the phase place reduction in single wavelength or the multi-wavelength phase shift interference again, thereby rebuild the determinand surface profile.Because the present invention measures the required memory space of the method for determinand surface profile, operation times, reaches operation time is few than prior art all, can directly be applied in simultaneously on the surface profile interferometer in conjunction with single wavelength phase shift interference and the interference of white light vertical scanning, the phase place reduction algorithm in the single wavelength phase shift interference of the available processes art is handled the interference signal of white light vertical scanning interferometry simultaneously.
As shown in Figure 2, the device that the present invention measures the determinand surface profile is to comprise following elements: wide frequency light source 12, beam shaping system 14, spectroscope 16, array intensity detector 18, shifter 20, deciliter optical element 22, reference mirror 24, and determinand 26, and being described as follows of said elements:
Wide frequency light source 12 is in order to wideband light to be provided, i.e. white light is to beam shaping system 14.Beam shaping system 14 is the wideband light that is provided in order to wide frequency light source 12, is incident to spectroscope 16 equably.
Spectroscope 16 is to reflex to deciliter optical element 22 in order to the wideband light with 14 incidents of beam shaping system, and the interference wideband transmittance of 22 incidents of deciliter optical element in the future is to array intensity detector 18.
Deciliter optical element 22 is divided into the wideband light of 16 incidents of spectroscope and measures light and reference light, measures only in order to being incident to determinand 26 surfaces, and reflects it; Reference light is in order to being incident to reference mirror 24, and reflects it.When the measurement light of reflection and after reference light closes light via deciliter optical element 22, form and interfere wideband light, will interfere wideband light to be incident to array intensity detector 18 again.At this moment, twin-beam (interfering wideband light) interference strength distributes and is expressed as follows:
I=I DC.[1+V.cos (φ)]  represents the interference phase difference between twin-beam.The user is by moving by shifter 20 is carried out vertically sweeping of optical axis direction, change the interference phase difference  between twin-beam in regular turn, via the variation of array intensity detector 18 record interference strengths, can learn the white light vertical scanning interference strength variation diagram (as shown in Figure 4) of any point on the determinand surface again.Wherein the variation meeting of whole interference strength is along with changing with the ripple packet form of letter of transfer formula V.
Because the two-beam interference of wideband light can be considered as the set with time a plurality of single-frequency light two-beam interference, so the distribution of wideband light two-beam interference intensity can be expressed as follows:
I = ∫ 0 ∞ I DC ( σ , x , y ) · [ 1 + V ( σ , x , y ) · cos ( φ ( σ , x , y ) ) ] dσ - - - ( 2 )
σ be the expression wavelength inverse (1/ λ), also be called wave number:  (σ, x, y)= 0(σ, x, y)+Δ  (σ, x, y) be corresponding each the single-frequency interference of light phase differential of expression; (x is the position of expression gauge point (is unit with pixel) y), and represents that with the plane space position of array intensity detector 18 it can correspond to the lip-deep point of determinand.Because the two-beam interference of wideband light can be considered as the set with time a plurality of single-frequency light two-beam interference, the user can choose specific wavelength λ 1 with the foundation as above-mentioned measurement, Fig. 5 is the PHASE DISTRIBUTION planimetric map for specific wavelength λ 1, the interference strength variation data of specific wavelength λ 1 is done the Fu Liye conversion, and real part item and imaginary part item after the conversion are made arc tangent (tan -1) computing, ((x, aforementioned calculation y) can draw PHASE DISTRIBUTION planimetric map as shown in Figure 5 to treat to finish in regular turn all gauge points for x, y) the PHASE DISTRIBUTION planimetric map of Gan Sheing can to get 1 pair of gauge point of specific wavelength λ.Again by reducing algorithm so that (x y) carries out computing, can obtain the phase place reduction figure of specific wavelength, as shown in Figure 6 to all gauge points by the phase place in single wavelength phase shift interference art.Because the relation of wavelength and phase place is to be equivalence, at this moment, the phase place reduction figure to specific wavelength carries out the conversion of phase place-physical size again, can obtain the surface profile of determinand, as shown in Figure 7.Because the conversion of the reduction algorithm of the phase place in single wavelength phase shift interference art and phase place-physical size is to be known technology, also seldom explains at this.
The method that the present invention measures the determinand surface profile is to comprise the following steps:
Step S30: retrieval wideband interference of light intensity.With the wide frequency light source 12 wideband light that provides be sent to beam shaping system 14 with, spectroscope 16, and deciliter optical element 22 after, deciliter optical element 22 is divided into wideband light and measures light and reference light, measures only in order to being incident to determinand 26 surfaces, and reflects it; Reference light is in order to being incident to reference mirror 24, and reflects it.When the measurement light of reflection and after reference light closes light via deciliter optical element 22, form and interfere wideband light, to interfere wideband light to be incident to array intensity detector 18 again, and, can learn white light (wideband light) the vertical scanning interference strength distribution (interference information) of any point on the determinand surface by moving by shifter 20 is carried out vertically sweeping of optical axis direction.And, then can change the optical path difference that (measures light and reference light) between twin-beam by moving by shifter 20 is carried out vertically sweeping of optical axis direction, can obtain the interference phase difference between wideband light twin-beam.
Step S32: detect the variation of wideband interference of light intensity distributions.Array intensity detector 18 detects the variation of the interference strength between wideband light twin-beam, can learn the distribution of the white light vertical scanning interference strength of any point on the determinand surface.
Step S34: the interference strength distribution to specific wavelength is changed, to obtain the PHASE DISTRIBUTION of specific wavelength.Because the two-beam interference of wideband light can be considered as the set with time a plurality of single-frequency light two-beam interference, can choose specific wavelength λ 1 as the foundation that measures, and the interference strength variation data of this specific wavelength λ 1 is Fu Liye changes, and to the conversion after real part item and imaginary part item make arctangent cp cp operation, can get 1 pair of gauge point of specific wavelength λ (x, y) PHASE DISTRIBUTION of Gan Sheing.(x, aforementioned calculation y) can obtain the PHASE DISTRIBUTION figure of specific wavelength to treat to finish in regular turn all gauge points.
Step S36: the PHASE DISTRIBUTION figure to specific wavelength carries out the processing of phase place reduction to obtain the phase place reduction figure of specific wavelength.Again by reducing algorithm by the phase place in single wavelength phase shift interference art so that (x y) carries out the computing that phase place is reduced, and can obtain the phase place reduction figure of specific wavelength to all gauge points.
Step S38: the phase place reduction figure to specific wavelength carries out the conversion of phase place-physical size to obtain the surface profile of determinand.Because the relation of wavelength and phase place is to be equivalence, if the phase place reduction figure of specific wavelength is carried out the conversion of phase place-physical size, can obtain the surface profile of determinand.
The present invention measures the device and method of determinand surface profile, except having the less advantage of operation times, just can not carry out traditional single wavelength phase shift interference method, simplified system architecture and cost more effectively because must not add optical filter when using wide frequency light source.
The foregoing description only is to give an example for convenience of description, the interest field that the present invention advocated but not only limit to the foregoing description.
