Detailed Description
The present utility model will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, the technical features of the embodiments of the present utility model described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
The terms first, second, third and the like in the description and in the claims and in the above drawings, are used for distinguishing between different objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those listed steps or elements but may include other steps or elements not listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
As shown in fig. 1, as a first embodiment of the present utility model, there is provided a wafer photoluminescence detection apparatus, which includes two systems, one of which is an auto-focusing system and the other is a photoluminescence spectrum detection system, and the two systems share a first optical path.
The automatic focusing mode adopts a spectral confocal method to focus. The principle of the spectral confocal method is that light beams with different wavelengths are focused on planes with different depths after the light beams pass through a dispersion lens. According to the principle of reversibility of the light path, when the surface to be measured is positioned at a certain focal position, the focal spot with corresponding wavelength is coupled into the spectrometer through a pinhole after passing through the dispersive lens and the beam splitting module (such as a spectroscope). Thus, the defocus of the surface to be measured can be measured. For spectroscopic confocal methods, see the following prior art documents: gaoxin, deng Wenyi, niu Chunhui. Chromatic confocal based displacement measurement systems research optical techniques, 38 (1), 2012. Therefore, in the first optical path, the multi-color light source, the spectrometer and the lens with a certain dispersion effect are key components for realizing a spectral confocal method.
For dispersion of the lens, white light (multi-color light) is focused at different points because of the difference in refractive index in the lens. Chromatic dispersion includes axial chromatic dispersion and off-axis chromatic dispersion. The chromatic dispersion is eliminated or utilized according to different application scenes, and the first light path in the utility model is to perform spectral confocal ranging focusing by utilizing the axial chromatic dispersion characteristic of the lens. The axial dispersion of the lens can be adjusted according to the size, structure, form, etc., and the utility model is not limited thereto.
Photoluminescence (PL) is a process of irradiating the surface of a wafer to be measured with monochromatic light, and a semiconductor material emits excitation light in response to the monochromatic light, and if a flaw occurs on the surface of the wafer, the excitation light spectrum at the flaw is different from the excitation light spectrum at the normal position, so that the performance of the wafer can be detected by detecting the spectrum of the excitation light. For photoluminescence spectrum detection methods, reference may also be made to the following prior art documents: bel' kov, VV et al "Microwave-induced patterns in n-GaAs and their photoluminescence imaging"(Physical Review B,Vol.61,No.20,The American Physical Society,2000, 5-15, pp.13698-13702) and Masarotto et al "Development of a UV scanning photoluminescence apparatus for SiC characterization"(Eur J AP 20,141-144,2002)., a monochromatic light source, a spectrometer in the first light path is therefore a key component for achieving photoluminescence spectroscopy detection.
Based on the above principle, the first optical path is set in this embodiment to include the light source module 1, the optical fiber optical path 3, the tube lens 4, the objective lens 7, the spectrometer 2, and the auto-focusing module. Wherein, the light source module 1 needs to emit monochromatic light or polychromatic light according to the working content, namely, when the first light path focuses by a spectral confocal method, the light source module 1 emits polychromatic light as light used for focusing; when the first light path is used for photoluminescence spectrum detection, the light source module 1 emits monochromatic light as light for exciting the wafer surface. In this embodiment, the tube mirror 4 is selected as a specific structural form of the optical path, and the optical fiber optical path 3 is selected as a connection mode for connecting the light source module 1, the spectrometer 2 and the tube mirror 4. In the utility model, the light emitted by the whole system is vertically irradiated on the surface of the sample 9 to be detected, so that the light irradiated on the surface of the sample 9 to be detected, the reflected light on the surface of the sample 9 to be detected and the excitation light on the surface of the sample 9 to be detected can return to the system along the same light path, the light source module 1 and the spectrometer 2 can share the first light path, and the structure of the whole system is simplified.
The light source module 1 in the present utility model needs to realize the functions of outputting monochromatic light and outputting polychromatic light, and three specific embodiments of the light source module 1 are given herein:
as shown in fig. 2, the light source module 1 is directly configured as a multi-channel light source module 101 that can arbitrarily adjust the wavelength and spectral range of the output light, and emits monochromatic light or polychromatic light as required.
As shown in fig. 3, the light source module 1 includes a wide-spectrum light source module 111 and a monochromatic light source module 112, wherein the wide-spectrum light source module 111 is configured to emit monochromatic light, and the monochromatic light source module 112 is configured to emit monochromatic light after focusing is completed.
As shown in fig. 4, the light source module 1 includes a plurality of single-color light source modules. In fig. 4, three monochromatic light source modules 121, 122, 123 are exemplified. The plurality of single-color light source modules emit single-color light of different wavelengths, and when the plurality of light source modules 121, 122, 123 are simultaneously turned on, the output light thereof is superimposed as a multi-color light, that is, the light source module 1 emits the multi-color light, and when only one of the single-color light source modules is turned on, the light source module 1 emits the single-color light.
It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the specific arrangement and selection of the light source module 1 is not limited to the above arrangement, and may be satisfied by emitting the polychromatic light and the monochromatic light as required.
In the photoluminescence spectrum detection, the light source module 1 may emit monochromatic light of a specific wavelength as required.
In the utility model, an optical fiber light path 3 is selected as a connecting device for connecting the light source module 1, the spectrometer 2 and the tube mirror 4. Optical fiber couplers and optical fiber probes are commonly used as optical passive devices, the optical fiber couplers are commonly used for realizing optical signal branching/combining, and the optical fiber probes are commonly installed on the end face of an optical fiber and used for being connected with other devices and are optical fiber 'plugs'. Because the wafer photoluminescence detection device provided by the utility model comprises the light source module 1 and the spectrometer 2, at least one optical fiber coupler 32 is needed to couple two paths of optical fibers into one path and input the two paths of optical fibers into the tube mirror 4. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the accuracy of the auto-focusing, the first fiber probe 31 for connecting the fiber optic path 3 needs to be installed at the image plane of the objective lens 7 at the target wavelength.
The particular fiber optic coupler 32 and first fiber optic probe 31 arrangement may be as shown in fig. 5-6. Fig. 5-6 are enlarged schematic views of a portion of the area a of fig. 1. In fig. 5, an optical fiber coupler is adopted, one end of the optical fiber coupler is connected with the light source module 1 and the spectrometer 2, and the other end of the optical fiber outputs a short optical fiber, and the short optical fiber is connected with the tube mirror 4 through the first optical fiber probe 31. Fig. 6 shows a fiber-optic coupler with a fiber-optic probe, which is directly connected to a tube mirror as a first fiber-optic probe 31. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that when the light source modules are arranged in different manners, a plurality of optical fiber couplers may be arranged in the optical fiber path, and only the beam combining/splitting function is required.
As shown in fig. 7-8, further, a second optical path may be provided in the present utility model, as a 3D measurement of the wafer surface. In the second optical path, the objective lens, tube lens and camera module are the core elements for imaging. The first optical path and the second optical path may share the objective lens 7 and are separated by a spectroscopic module. As shown in fig. 7 to 8, two arrangements of the optical paths are provided in this embodiment. Wherein the tube mirror 4 is arranged in a T-shaped structure, the first optical path and the second optical path share the objective lens 7, and the objective lens 7 vertically faces the movable carrier 8 carrying the sample 9 to be measured; the first light path and the second light path are separated by the light splitting module 6, and then corresponding measurement is respectively realized.
The second optical path in the above embodiment can take a 3D measurement within a certain range on the wafer surface, so the camera module 5 can optionally take a measurement at a certain distance on the wafer surface, so that the whole surface of the wafer can be traversed, and the effect of complete detection is achieved.
The automatic focusing mode may be to adjust the position of the moving stage 8, or alternatively to adjust the position of the objective lens 7, so as to achieve automatic focusing only by making the surface of the sample 9 to be measured be at the focal plane of the light beam with the target wavelength. Means for moving the objective lens 7 include, but are not limited to: the module comprised in the whole first optical path, the second optical path, or the length of the tube mirror 4 is moved as in fig. 7-8, thereby adjusting the position of the objective lens 7 in space.
It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model, but any modifications, equivalents, improvements or alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the utility model are intended to be included within the scope of the utility model.
