- Energy detector 104 measures the intensity of energy beam 500 transmitted through partially reflective mirror 103 .
- the energy beam 500 reflected by the partial reflection mirror 103 is transmitted through the dichroic mirror 110 and focused by the objective lens 111 before being applied to the sample 113 .
- the sample 113 irradiated with the energy beam 500 absorbs the applied energy and undergoes thermal expansion.
- the measurement system has a light source 120, a collimator lens 121, a beam splitter 122, a filter 123, a condenser lens 124, a half mirror 125, pinholes 126, 128, photodetectors 127, 129, a dichroic mirror 110, and an objective lens 111.
- the light source 120 generates probe light 501 for measuring physical property values of the sample 113, such as a visible light beam or an ultraviolet beam, which is an electromagnetic wave.
- the probe light 501 generated by the light source 120 preferably has a shorter wavelength than the energy beam 500 and is focused into a smaller spot, such as a green or blue light beam.
- the probe light 501 is made into a substantially parallel beam by the collimator lens 121 , passes through the beam splitter 122 and the filter 123 , and travels toward the dichroic mirror 110 .
- Dichroic mirror 110 reflects probe light 501 toward objective lens 111 .

- both the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501 are focused by the objective lens 111 and applied to the sample 113 .
- the probe light 501 has a smaller beam diameter than the energy beam 500 and irradiates a narrower area than the area irradiated with the energy beam 500. Therefore, the physical properties of the area irradiated with the energy beam 500 can be measured with high spatial resolution. can do.
- the beam diameter of the probe light 501 focused on the surface of the sample 113 is about 0.5 ⁇ m.
- the spatial resolution of the measurement system is about 0.3 ⁇ m by using a confocal detector in the measurement system.
- the physical property values to be measured include the displacement of the surface of the sample 113 that expands by absorbing the energy beam 500, changes in curvature, changes in surface reflectance, and the like.
- a confocal detector will be described using FIGS. 3A and 3B.
- a confocal detector is configured such that when light emitted from a point source is focused on the surface of the sample, light reflected from the sample is focused on the detection plane.
- light source 120, collimator lens 121, beam splitter 122, objective lens 111, sample 113, condenser lens 124, pinhole 126, and photodetector 127 are arranged as illustrated in FIG. 3A.
- the probe light 501 generated by the point light source of the light source 120 is collimated by the collimator lens 121 and then reflected by the beam splitter 122 to enter the objective lens 111 .
- the objective lens 111 collects and focuses the probe light 501 .
- the reflected probe light 501 follows the solid line optical path in FIG. tie the As a result, most of the probe light 501 reflected by the sample 113 passes through the pinhole 126 and is detected by the photodetector 127 .
- the sample 113 expands due to the irradiation of the energy beam 500 and the surface is displaced as indicated by the dotted line in FIG.
- the amount of light passing through the pinhole 126 and detected by the photodetector 127 is smaller than in the case of the solid-line optical path. That is, since the amount of light detected by the photodetector 127 changes according to the amount of displacement of the surface of the sample 113, the photodetector 127 can measure changes in the physical property values of the sample 113 to which energy has been applied.
- FIG. 3B is a graph showing the relationship between the amount of light detected by the confocal detector I and the amount of displacement Z of the sample 113.
- the detected light intensity I is maximized when the surface of the sample 113 is at the in-focus position, and decreases as it deviates from the in-focus position.
- the displacement amount detection sensitivity which is the absolute value of the ratio ⁇ I/ ⁇ Z between the change amount ⁇ I of the detected light amount I and the change amount ⁇ Z of the displacement amount Z, is minimum at the in-focus position, and even near the in-focus position. Almost zero and low. Therefore, in Example 1, detection sensitivity is improved by using two confocal detectors.
- the probe light 501 irradiated to the sample 113 is reflected by the surface of the sample 113 , returns to the beam splitter 122 along the original optical path, and is reflected toward the condenser lens 124 .
- the probe light 501 incident on the condenser lens 124 is converged and travels to the half mirror 125 .
- Half mirror 125 transmits about half of focused probe light 501 toward pinhole 126 and reflects the other half toward pinhole 128 .
- the probe light 501 that has passed through the pinhole 126 is detected by the photodetector 127 .
- the probe light 501 that has passed through the pinhole 128 is detected by the photodetector 129 .
- the pinholes 126 and 128 are arranged away from the focal position of the condenser lens 124 . That is, the pinhole 126 is arranged away from the focal position of the condenser lens 124 in the direction away from the sample 113 by the distance L, and the pinhole 128 is arranged away from the focal position in the direction toward the sample 113 by the distance L. be.
- the distance L is set to be equal to or less than the depth of focus.
- FIG. 4A is a graph showing the relationship between the amount of light detected by the photodetectors 127 and 129 and the amount of displacement of the sample 113 when the pinholes 126 and 128 are separated by a distance L.
- the peaks of the detected light amount curve PD1 of the photodetector 127 and the detected light amount curve PD2 of the photodetector 129 are shifted by a distance L from the in-focus position.
- FIG. 4B is a graph obtained by adding the detected light quantity curves PD1 and PD2.
- the displacement amount can be measured at positions where the detection sensitivity of the displacement amount, which is the absolute value of ⁇ I/ ⁇ Z, is high, for example, the positions indicated by the circles in FIG. 4B. That is, it is possible to improve the detection sensitivity of the displacement amount.
- FIG. 4C is a graph calculated using the following formula.
- (PD2-PD1)/(PD2+PD1) ... (Formula 1) The value calculated by (Formula 1) changes substantially linearly with respect to the amount of displacement Z, and becomes zero at the in-focus position. That is, by using the graph illustrated in FIG. 4C, control for adjusting the focus position becomes easier. For example, by controlling the position of the sample 113 in the Z direction so that the value of (Equation 1) becomes zero, it is possible to absorb the deviation of the focal position due to the drift of the distance between the objective lens 111 and the sample 113 . Further, it is possible to perform measurement while tracking the focal position with respect to the unevenness of the surface of the sample 113 .
- the value used for controlling the focal position may be PD2-PD1.
- PD2-PD1 When PD2-PD1 is used, the division of (Equation 1) is eliminated and the amount of calculation can be reduced, so that the processing time can be shortened.
- (Equation 1) when (Equation 1) is used, normalization is performed by PD2+PD1, so even if the reflectance and refractive index of the surface of the sample 113 are not uniform or the intensity of the light source 120 fluctuates, the effects of these can be suppressed.
- a description of the beam splitter 122 is added here.
- the ratio of transmission and reflection in the beam splitter 122 is approximately 1:1, the light amount of the probe light 501 passing through the beam splitter 122 twice is reduced to 1/4. Therefore, a polarization beam splitter may be used as the beam splitter 122 in order to suppress the decrease in the light amount of the probe light 501 .
- the beam splitter 122 When a polarizing beam splitter is used, most of the light is transmitted through the beam splitter 122 if the light emitted from the collimator lens 121 is polarized in the vertical direction of the paper.
- a ⁇ /4 plate whose axial direction is rotated by 45 degrees with respect to the polarization direction is arranged as the filter 123, the probe light 501 emitted from the filter 123 becomes circularly polarized light.
- the circularly polarized probe light 501 is reflected by the surface of the sample 113, returns to the filter 123 along the original optical path, and passes through the filter 123, which is a ⁇ /4 plate, so that the circularly polarized light becomes converted to linearly polarized light.
- the probe light 501 converted to linearly polarized light is reflected toward the condenser lens 124 due to the characteristics of the polarization beam splitter. That is, by using a polarizing beam splitter as the beam splitter 122 and arranging a ⁇ /4 plate as the filter 123, the light amount of the probe light 501 can be guided toward the photodetectors 127 and 129 without reducing the light amount. .
- a wavelength filter that transmits only the wavelength of the probe light 501 may be added. By adding a wavelength filter, detection of light other than the probe light 501 is suppressed, and detection noise can be reduced.
- the control system is a control device 300 having an overall control unit 301, an energy source control unit 302, a lock-in detection unit 303, a probe light amount correction unit 304, an energy intensity correction unit 305, a defocus amount calculation unit 306, and an XY scanning control unit 307.
- the overall control unit 301 is a computing unit that controls each unit and processes and transmits data generated by each unit, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (Micro Processing Unit).
- Each unit other than the overall control unit 301 may be configured with dedicated hardware using ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), etc., or configured with software that operates on a computing unit. May be.
- ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuit
- FPGA Field-Programmable Gate Array
- the display device, printer, or storage device appearing in the above and later descriptions may be a part of the control device 300, or may be an external device.
- the energy source control unit 302 controls the wavelength, intensity, etc. of the energy beam 500 generated by the energy source 100 . By scanning the wavelength, the absorption spectrum of the sample 113 can be measured. In addition, by modulating the intensity, lock-in detection by a lock-in detection unit 303, which will be described later, becomes possible.
- the lock-in detection unit 303 performs so-called lock-in detection by detecting the amounts of light PD1 and PD2 detected by the photodetectors 127 and 129 while comparing them with the modulated signal transmitted from the energy source control unit 302 . Using the modulated signal as a reference, the amplitude of PD2-PD1 is obtained by lock-in detecting the signal of PD2-PD1, for example.
- the difference between the PD1 and PD2 may be calculated after lock-in detection is performed on each of PD1 and PD2 using the modulated signal as a reference, or the lock-in detection may be performed on the value of (Equation 1). Also good.
- AM detection may be used in which a displacement signal corresponding to the modulation frequency of the energy beam 500 is extracted by a filter and then amplitude is measured.
- the displacement signal may be spectrally analyzed using FFT or the like, and the intensity of the spectral peak corresponding to the modulation frequency may be measured. Still other common amplitude detection methods may be used.
- the probe light intensity correction unit 304 divides the amplitude of PD2-PD1 obtained by the lock-in detection unit 303 by PD2+PD1. Since the value obtained by division is proportional to the amplitude of the displacement of the surface of the sample 113, it will hereinafter be referred to as the sample displacement measurement value.
- the energy intensity correction unit 305 divides the sample displacement measurement value obtained by the probe light intensity correction unit 304 by the intensity of the energy beam 500 measured by the energy detector 104 to calculate a value proportional to the energy absorption rate. do.
- the absorption spectrum of the sample 113 is obtained by calculating a value proportional to the energy absorptance while scanning the wavelength of the energy beam 500 .
- the obtained absorption spectrum may be output to the outside in the form of a table or graph.
- the graph-type absorption spectrum may be displayed on a display device such as a liquid crystal display, stored in a storage device, or printed by a printer or the like.
- the defocus amount calculator 306 controls the position of the objective lens 111 in the Z direction based on the value of (Equation 1). By controlling the position of the objective lens 111 in the Z direction, it becomes possible for the probe light 501 to follow the unevenness of the surface of the sample 113 .
- the XY scanning control unit 307 moves the objective lens 111 or the XY stage 112 in the X and Y directions. By moving the objective lens 111 or the XY stage 112, an arbitrary position on the sample 113 can be irradiated with the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501, and the absorption spectrum distribution on the surface of the sample 113 can be measured. In particular, when the wavelength of the energy beam 500 is fixed and the objective lens 111 or the XY stage 112 is moved, measurement with two confocal detectors can generate an absorbance map image for the wavelength.
- the defocus amount calculation unit 306 and the XY scanning control unit 307 operate in cooperation so that the lens or stage can be moved while following the focus of the probe light 501 with respect to the unevenness of the surface of the sample 113. .
- the generated absorbance map image may be output to the outside as an image or in a graph form.
- the map image may be displayed on a display device such as a liquid crystal display, stored in a storage device, or printed by a printer or the like.
- the display in graph format is, for example, a two-dimensional graph when one-dimensional scanning is performed by the XY scanning control unit 307, and a three-dimensional graph when two-dimensional scanning is performed by the XY scanning control unit 307.
- Example 1 changes in physical properties such as expansion of the sample 113 to which energy is imparted by infrared rays or the like are detected based on the outputs PD1 and PD2 of the two confocal detectors. can be improved. Also, since (PD2-PD1)/(PD2+PD1) is calculated from each output, the reflectance and refractive index of the surface of the sample 113, the unevenness of the surface, the light amount fluctuations of the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501, the objective lens 111 and the sample 113 can be suppressed. Furthermore, the spatial resolution can be improved by using visible light, which has a shorter wavelength than infrared light, as the probe light 501 .
- the position irradiated with the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501 is scanned by moving the objective lens 111 in the X direction and the Y direction.
- the scanning of the position irradiated with the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501 while the objective lens 111 is fixed will be described.
- symbol is provided to the same structure as Example 1, and description is abbreviate
- the spectroscopic measurement apparatus of the second embodiment has an x scanning mirror 115, a y scanning mirror 116, and a Z stage 114 added to the configuration of the first embodiment.
- the x-scanning mirror 115 and the y-scanning mirror 116 are mirrors that reflect the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501 .

- the Z stage 114 is placed on the XY stage 112, and moves in the Z direction as the sample 113 is placed. Movement of the Z stage 114 in the Z direction is controlled by the defocus amount calculator 306 . That is, the position of the Z stage 114 in the Z direction is controlled based on the value of (Equation 1), so that the probe light 501 can follow the unevenness of the surface of the sample 113 as in the first embodiment.
- an x-scanning mirror 115 and a y-scanning mirror 116 are arranged between the dichroic mirror 110 and the objective lens 111, and the energy beam 500 and the probe light 501 are scanned on the surface of the sample 113 by rotating both mirrors.
- the absorption spectrum distribution can be measured as in the first embodiment.
- an x-scanning mirror 115 and a y-scanning mirror 116 are arranged between the filter 123 and the dichroic mirror 110, and only the probe light 501 is scanned on the surface of the sample 113 by rotating both mirrors. That is, in the configuration of FIG. 5B, energy beam 500 is not scanned even if x-scan mirror 115 and y-scan mirror 116 rotate. It should be noted that the probe light 501 is scanned within the region irradiated with the energy beam 500 . By scanning the region irradiated with the energy beam 500 with the probe light 501, the absorption spectrum distribution within the region can be measured.
- Example 2 the surface of the sample 113 is scanned with at least the probe light 501 by the rotation of the x scanning mirror 115 and the y scanning mirror 116, so that the absorption spectrum distribution can be measured. Further, as in the first embodiment, based on the respective outputs PD1 and PD2 of the two confocal detectors, changes in physical properties such as expansion of the sample 113 to which energy is imparted by infrared rays or the like are detected, so the detection sensitivity is improved. can be made
- the scanning of the probe light 501 and the energy beam 500 may be performed not only by the rotation of the x scanning mirror 115 and the y scanning mirror 116, but also by moving the XY stage 112 and the objective lens 111 in the horizontal direction and combining them.
- the object lens 111 and the like are moved to move the sample 113.
- a surface may be scanned.
- Example 1 by using the outputs PD1 and PD2 of the two confocal detectors, it is possible to perform autofocusing in addition to measuring changes in physical property values, so there is no need to provide a separate autofocusing mechanism. It is dull and space-saving of the spectrometer can be realized. Also, autofocusing using two confocal detectors makes it possible to track the focal position at high speed on the surface of a sample with large unevenness, so that the time required for measurement can be shortened.
- the spectroscopic measurement apparatus of the third embodiment has a mirror 130, an aperture stop 131, and a photodetector 132 added to the configuration of the first embodiment.
- a mirror 130 is arranged between the beam splitter 122 and the condenser lens 124 and reflects part or almost all of the probe light 501 reflected by the surface of the sample 113 toward the aperture stop 131 . That is, if the mirror 130 is a partially reflective mirror, part of the probe light 501 is directed to the aperture stop 131 , and if the mirror 130 is a total reflection mirror, almost all of the probe light 501 is directed to the aperture stop 131 .
- the photodetector 132 measures the scattering state of the surface of the sample 113 by detecting the probe light 501 that has passed through the aperture stop 131 .
- the curvature locally changes due to thermal expansion, and the refractive index locally changes due to temperature changes and carrier concentration changes.
- the scattering state of the surface of the sample 113 may change, and the angular distribution of the reflected light of the probe light 501 may change.
- a change in the angular distribution of the reflected light changes the spread of the probe light 501 at the aperture stop 131 and changes the amount of light detected by the photodetector 132 . Therefore, by detecting the probe light 501 with the photodetector 132 through the aperture stop 131, the scattering state of the surface of the sample 113 can be measured.
- the intensity of the energy beam 500 may be used as a reference signal for lock-in detection.
- the mirror 130 is a total reflection mirror, it may be measured by a confocal detector when the mirror 130 is removed from the optical path of the probe light 501, and the scattering state is measured when the mirror 130 is inserted into the optical path. good.
- Example 3 the probe light 501 before being focused by the condenser lens 124 is detected through the aperture stop 131, so the scattering state on the surface of the sample 113 can be measured. It is also possible to combine the measurement with the confocal detector and the measurement of the scattering state.
- FIGS. 7A and 7B A main part of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B.
- the dichroic mirror 110 and the objective lens 111 cannot be shared between the energy application system and the measurement system. Therefore, in FIG. 7A, the dichroic mirror 110 is replaced with a perforated mirror 110', and the objective lens 111 is replaced with a hollow objective lens 111', respectively, with respect to the configuration of the first embodiment.

- a probe light 501 that irradiates a sample 113 together with an energy beam 500, which is a charged particle beam, is reflected by the sample 113 and then detected by two confocal detectors as in the first embodiment.
- the dichroic mirror 110 is replaced with a mirror 110'' for the configuration of the first embodiment.
- the probe light 501 is reflected by the mirror 110 ′′, enters the objective lens 111 , is focused, and irradiates the sample 113 .
- an energy beam 500 which is a charged particle beam is irradiated onto the sample 113 from off-axis of the objective lens 111 .
- the probe light 501 that irradiates the sample 113 together with the energy beam 500 that is the charged particle beam is detected by the two confocal detectors after being reflected by the sample 113 .
- Example 4 a charged particle beam is used as the energy beam 500, so energy can be applied to a narrower area than an infrared beam, and spatial resolution can be further improved.

Abstract
Description
(式1)により算出される値は、変位量Zに対して略線形に変化し、合焦位置においてゼロになる。すなわち図4Cに例示されるグラフを用いることにより、焦点位置を調整する制御が容易になる。例えば(式1)の値がゼロになるように、試料113のZ方向の位置を制御することにより、対物レンズ111と試料113の間の距離のドリフト等による焦点位置のズレを吸収できる。また試料113の表面の凹凸に対して焦点位置を追従させながら測定することが可能である。
