Problems solved by technology

Due to the good film quality of extreme ultraviolet and X-ray multilayer films and the slow change of film thickness, it is difficult to find characteristic points in the structure to segment and accurately splice the film system during the electron microscope test. A large error will affect the structural accuracy and optical performance of the component preparation

Abstract

The invention relates to a characterization method of a multilayer film structure based on a film marking layer. Specifically, a marking film layer made of an appropriate material is inserted into a specific location in the multilayer film structure so as to determine the positions of film layers at different regions in an electron microscope testing process, thereby a high magnification electron microscope can be utilized to realize precise splicing and characterization of a multilayer film system overall structure. Compared with the prior art, the invention uses a film marking layer method to over the influence of the position error of different region film layer splicing on film system overall structure test. The method provided in the invention is an effective method for nanoscale accurate characterization of the multilayer film structure, and provides a guarantee for making high precision multilayer membrane elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the research on the structure characterization of multilayer film elements, which belongs to the research field of precision optical elements, in particular to a method for characterization of multilayer film structures based on thin film marking layers. Background technique [0002] Multilayer film components are one of the important optical components in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray bands. Mirrors, monochromators, and polarizers based on multilayer film technology are widely used in synchrotron radiation, high-energy astronomical observation, plasma diagnosis and integration Circuit manufacturing and other fields. The wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light and X-rays are short, and the film thickness of the corresponding multilayer film element is at the nanometer level; in order to achieve high reflectivity and high resolution, the number of coating layers often reaches hundreds of layers, which affects the element's ...
