Abstract
Using an in-situ ellipsometer, we monitored the growth curve of optical recording media in real time. For confirmation of the thickness control using in-situ ellipsometry, we analyzed the deposited multi-layer sample made of Ge-Sb-Te alloy film and ZnS-Si0$_2$ dielectric films using an exsitu spectroscopic ellipsometer. The target material in the first sputtering gun is ZnS-SiO$_2$ as the protecting dielectric layer and that in the second gun is Ge$_2$sb$_2$Te$_{5}$ as the receding layer. While depositing ZnS-SiO$_2$, Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_{5}$ and ZnS-SiO$_2$ films on c-Si substrate in sequence, we measured Ψ $\Delta$ in real time. Utilizing the complex refractive indices of Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_{5}$ and ZnS-SiO$_2$ obtained from the analysis of spectroscopic ellipsometry data, the evolution of ellipsometric constants Ψ, $\Delta$ with thickness is calculated. By comparing the calculated evolution curve of ellipsometric constants with the measured one, and by analyzing the effect of density variation of the Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_{5}$ recording layer on ellipsometric constants with thickness, we precisely monitored the growth rate of the Ge-Sb-Te multilayer and controlled the growth process. The deviation of the real thicknesses of Ge-Sb-Te multilayer obtained under the strict monitoring is post confirmed to be less than 1.5% from the target structure of ZnS-SiO$_2$(1400 $\AA$)IGST(200 $\AA$)$\mid$ZnS-SiO$_2$(200$\AA$).(200$\AA$).
광기록매체용 Ge-Sb-Te다층박막 성장과정을 in-situ 타원계를 사용하여 실시간으로 모니터하여 각 층의 두께를 제어하고 성장된 Ge-Sb-Te 다층박막을 ex-site 분광타원법으로 확인하였다. 보호층인 ZnS-SiO$_2$와 기록층인 Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_{5}$을 단결정실리콘 기층 위에 스퍼터링 방법으로 각각 성장시키면서 구한 타원상수 성장곡선을 분석하여 성장에 따르는 보호층의 균일성 및 기록 층의 밀도변화를 파악하고 이를 기초로 하여 Ge-Sb-Te광기록 다층박막의 두께를 정밀하게 제어하였다. Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_{5}$ 단층박막 시료의 복소굴절율은 eX-Situ 분광타원분석을 통하여 구하였다. 제작된 다층구조는 설정된 다층구조인 ZnS-SiO$_2$(1400$\AA$)$\mid$ GST(200 $\AA$)$\mid$ZnS-SiO$_2$(200$\AA$)와 각 층의 두께 및 전체 두께에서 1.5% 이내에서 일치하는 정확도를 보여주었다.주었다.
