We discuss two possibilities of using femtosecond pulse lasers as a new interferometric light source fer enhanced precision surface profile metrology. First, a train of ultra-fast laser pulses yields repeated low temporal coherence, which allows performing unequal-path scanning interferometry that is not feasible with white light. Second, high spatial coherence of femtosecond pulse lasers enables to test large size optics in non-symmetric configurations with relatively small size reference surfaces. These two advantages are verified experimentally using Fizeau and Twyman-Green type scanning interferometers.

As industry of a semiconductor and LCD industry have been rapidly growing, precision technologies of machining such as etching and 3D measurement are required. Stylus has been important measuring method in traditional manufacturing process. However, its disadvantages are low measuring speed and damage possibility at contacting point. To overcome mentioned disadvantage, non-contacting measurement method is needed such as PMP(Phase Measuring Profilometry), WSI(white scanning interferometer) and Confocal Profilometry. Among above 3 well-known methods, WSI started to be applied to FPD(flat panel display) manufacturing process. Even though it overcomes 21t ambiguity of PMP method and can measure objects which has specular surface, the measuring speed and vibration coming from manufacturing machine are one of main issue to apply full automatic total inspection. In this study, We develop high speed WSI system and algorithm to reduce unknown noise. The developing WSI and algorithm are implemented to measure 3D surface of wafer. Experimental results revealed that the proposed system and algorithm are able to measure 3D surface profile of wafer with a good precision and high speed.

I present a 3-D profiler specially devised for the profile measurement of specular surfaces that requires precision shape accuracy up to a few nanometer. A profile is reconstructed from the curvature of a test part of the surface at several locations along a line. The local curvature data are acquired with White-light Scanning Interferometry. Test measurement proves that the proposed profiler is well suited for the specular surface inspection like precision mirror.

투명한 유전체 박막과 관련된 측정 분야는 반도체 산업의 발전과 함께 급속히 성장하고 있으며, 회로의 고집적화 추세에 맞추어 고정밀도의 측정 성능을 요구하고 있다. 최근 웨이퍼의 광역 평탄화를 위한 CMP(chemical mechanical polishing)공정의 도입으로 인하여 박막의 두께뿐만 아니라 미세 형상에 대한 측정 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 비접촉 표면 형상 측정법의 하나인 백색광 주사 간섭법을 이용하여 박막의 두께 형상을 측정하여 새로운 측정 알고리즘 제시하고자 한다. 이 방법은 기존의 백색광 간섭 신호 해석법의 하나인 주파수 분석법과 비선형 최소 자승법을 이용함으로써 구현된다. 그리고 실험을 통하여 개발된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.

White-light scanning interferometry (WLI) and phase shifting interferometry (PSI) are increasingly used for surface topography measurements, particularly for areal measurements. In this paper, we compare surface profiling results obtained from above two optical methods with those obtained from stylus instruments. For moderately rough surfaces ($Ra{\approx}500\;nm$), roughness measurements obtained with WLI and the stylus method seem to provide close agreement on the same roughness samples. For surface roughness measurements in the 50 nm to 300 nm range of Ra, discrepancies between WLI and the stylus method are observed. In some cases the discrepancy is as large as 109% of the value obtained with the stylus method. By contrast, the PSI results are in good agreement with those of the stylus technique.

Demand for high precision measurement of large area is increasing in many industrial fields. White-light Scanning Interferometer(WSI) is a well-known method for 3D profile measurement. However WSI has some limitations in a measurement range because of the sensing mechanism. Therefore, in this paper we use a heterodyne laser interferometer to get over the limitations of a short measurement range in WSI, We suggest a new WSI system combined with heterodyne laser interferometer. This system is aimed at eliminating Abbe error with measuring the focus point directly. With the use of triggering functionality of WSI, we can use this system as a probe of a precision stage such as a probe of CMM. The suggested system gives a repeatability of 87 nm in the absolute distance measurement test under the laboratory environment.

본 논문에서는 백색광 간섭계(White Light Interferometry, WLI)의 데이터 처리 과정에서 가간섭 영역 외의 배경 잡음성 신호 필터링을 통하여 백색광 주사 간섭계의 성능을 향상시켰다. 광학계의 개구수(Numerical Aperture, NA)가 유한한 백색광 간섭계의 경우, 단차가 크고 표면 굴곡이 심한 시료를 측정하게 되면 유한한 초점심도(Depth Of Focus, DOF)에 의하여 배경 잡음이 발생하며, 반사가 심한 경면의 경우에는 간섭무늬 신호보다 배경 잡음의 영향을 많이 받게 된다. 따라서 배경 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 간섭무늬 신호 자체 형상에 영향을 주지 않으면서 효율적으로 배경 잡음 필터링이 가능한 전후 구간 평균법을 제시하였다. 전후구간 평균법은 원 데이터와 그 이동평균과의 차이를 이용하는 방법으로, 고속으로 대략적인 정점의 위치를 파악한 후 정밀도가 높은 가시도 정점 검출 알고리즘으로 처리하여 측정 속도와 정밀도를 높였다. 전후구간 평균법을 이용하여 배경 잡음을 제거한 경우, 제거하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 잡음 화소가 약 1/4로 감소되었다.

An acousto-optic tunable filter based 3-D micro surface profile measurement using an equally spaced 5 spectral phase shifting is described. The 5-bucket spectral phase shifting method is compared with a Fourier-transform method in the spectral domain. It can provide a fast measurement capability while maintaining high accuracy since it needs only 5 pieces of spectrally phase shifted imaging data and a simple calculation in comparison with the Fourier transform method that requires full wavelength scanning data and relatively complicated computation. The 3-D profile data of micro objects can be obtained in a few seconds with an accuracy of ${\sim}10nm$. The 3-D profile method also has an inherent benefit in terms of being speckle-free in measuring diffuse micro objects by employing an incoherent light source. Those simplicity and practical applicability is expected to have diverse applications in 3-D micro profilometry such as semiconductors and micro-biology.
