초록
높은 종횡비를 가지는 미세 패턴 시료의 하부층 구조결함에 대해 높은 민감도를 가지는 광학적 임계치수 측정 장비로서 준 수직입사 타원계를 제안한다. 이 준 수직입사 타원계에서는 입사광은 편광자와 위상지연자를 순차적으로 통과하며 반사광은 이들을 역순으로 통과한다. 하나의 편광자와 하나의 위상지연자를 입사광과 반사광이 공유하며 편광자와 위상지연자의 여러 방위각 조합에서 측정한 빛의 세기로부터 타원상 수를 결정하는 이 준 수직입사 타원계의 측정원리를 검토하고 최적의 타원상수 측정방법을 제시한다.
Abstract
A near-normal-incidence ellipsometer (NNIE) is suggested as an optical critical dimension (OCD) measurement system that is highly sensitive tothe bottom defect of a sample with high-aspect-ratio structured patterns. Incident light passes through a polarizer and a phase retarder in sequence, and the reflected light from the sample also passes through them, but in reverse order. The operating principle of this NNIE, where a single polarizer and a single phase retarder are shared by the incident and reflected light, is studied, and a method to determine the ellipsometric constants from the measured intensities at proper combinations of the azimuthal angles of polarizer and retarder is presented.
