Problems solved by technology

However, many thin films are not stable in the air, and their properties will change after being taken out of the vacuum equipment into the air, and even the samples will be directly destroyed, such as active metals such as aluminum and lead, silicene, most selenides and tellurides, etc., resulting in Intrinsic information of thin films cannot be detected

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for in-situ real-time detection of film roughness through a reflective high-energy electron diffractometer (hereinafter referred to as RHEED). The RHEED is an instrument which is widely used during epitaxial growth of a film, and the diffraction pattern of the epitaxial film can be observed in situ and in real time through combination with a fluorescent screen and a charge-coupled device (hereinafter referred to as CCD). According to the method, the characteristic parameters of the diffraction pattern of the epitaxial film are collected, and a specific function relation is established between the characteristic parameters of the diffraction pattern and the surface flatness of the film, so that the precise surface roughness of the epitaxial film can be obtained according to the diffraction pattern of the epitaxial film in the growth process, and the application of RHEED in film growth is greatly expanded.

Background technique [0002] Thin film surface roughness has always been a very basic and important piece of information in the study of surface and interface physics in condensed matter physics. surface such as on single crystal SrTiO 3 (001) A buffer layer is grown on the surface of the substrate, and whether the buffer layer is flat or not is directly related to the quality of the subsequent film; the interface such as LaAlO 3 / SrTiO 3 The two-dimensional electron gas at the interface has high requirements on the flatness of the interface between the two materials during growth, so the roughness of the film surface is directly related to the quality of the epitaxial film. Moreover, for most electronic devices that depend on the interface, the flatness of the interface ha...
