    摘要:

    现有的超微光斑角分辨偏振散射仪校准方法需基于旋转偏振器或液晶延迟器实现整体仪器系统参数的校准,存在操作复杂、难以一次性解耦多个校准参数、引入额外误差源等不足。针对此问题,提出一种超微光斑角分辨偏振散射仪系统参数原位分步校准方法。借鉴消光椭偏测量原理,依次对起偏器方位角、分束器透射与反射椭偏参数、波片延迟量与方位角、偏振分束器透射与反射椭偏参数、物镜正交偏振光透过率等参数进行精确校准。采用该方法对自主研发的超微光斑角分辨偏振散射仪进行校准,并利用校准后的仪器对标准SiO2薄膜与矩形光栅样件进行测量,结果表明:原位校准后仪器的膜厚测量重复性可达0.1 nm,光栅形貌参数与标准值高度一致,验证了所提出的超微光斑角分辨偏振散射仪原位校准方法的有效性。

    Abstract:

    Existing calibration methods for ultra-micro-spot angle-resolved polarization scatterometers rely on rotating polarizers or liquid crystal retarders to calibrate the overall system parameters, resulting in complex operational procedures, difficulty in simultaneously decoupling multiple calibration parameters, and the introduction of additional error sources. To address these limitations, we propose an in-situ, stepwise calibration strategy for the system parameters of an ultra-micro-spot angle-resolved polarization scatterometer. Inspired by the principle of extinction ellipsometry, key system parameters — including the polarizer azimuth, ellipsometric parameters of the beam splitter in transmission and reflection, waveplate retardation and azimuth, ellipsometric parameters of the polarization beam splitter in transmission and reflection, and the orthogonally polarized transmittance of the objective lens — are sequentially calibrated with high precision. The proposed method was applied to calibrate a self-developed ultra-micro-spot angle-resolved polarization scatterometer, which was subsequently used to measure standard SiO2 thin films and rectangular grating samples. The results demonstrate that, after in-situ calibration, the instrument achieved a film-thickness measurement repeatability of 0.1 nm, and the extracted grating morphology parameters exhibited excellent agreement with standard values, thereby verifying the effectiveness of the proposed calibration method.
