Problems solved by technology

[0003] When the harmonic component extraction method is used for ellipsometry, the relevant parameters of the PEM (Photo-elastic Modulator, photoelastic modulator), such as the maximum modulation optical path difference and static phase delay, are all fixed constants by default. In practical applications, these system parameters are usually affected by changes in the external environment, such as temperature changes, excitation signal peak-to-peak changes, incident light direction deviation, etc., and are not constant. Once these effects accumulate to a certain extent, they will be will affect the accuracy of the measurement results

Abstract

The invention provides a high-speed ellipsometry method and device based on an optimization model. The method comprises steps of building a system model of an ellipsometry system which comprises a polarizer, a photoelastic modulator PEM and a polarization analyzer; substituting the Stokes vector of the incident light and each system parameter of the ellipsometry system into a system model to obtain an expression of a total light intensity parameter of the output light; and performing logic design of an optimization model according to a nonlinear least square method in combination with an expression of a total light intensity parameter. According to the method, the data are processed by a preset optimization model to obtain the actual value of each system parameter in the ellipsometry system, and the Stokes vector of the emergent light is obtained through inversion calculation according to the actual value of each system parameter, so compared with the prior art, the ellipsometry process is converted into an optimization problem to be solved, the influence caused by system deviation can be inhibited, and robustness of the measurement system is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of ellipsometry, in particular to a high-speed ellipsometry method and device based on an optimal model. Background technique [0002] Existing photoelastic modulation high-speed ellipsometry methods usually use the method of harmonic component extraction. In this method, a digital lock-in amplifier is used to extract the amplitude of the low-order harmonic component in the light intensity modulation signal to calculate the Stokes vector, and the high-frequency component is discarded. The characteristic of this method is that the amount of data processing is small, and the implementation is more intuitive, fast, and has better versatility. [0003] When the harmonic component extraction method is used for ellipsometry, the relevant parameters of the PEM (Photo-elastic Modulator, photoelastic modulator), such as the maximum modulation optical path difference and static phase delay, are all fixed con...
