[0061] See also Figure 1 The present application provides a method for measuring a bevel angle, and the method for measuring a bevel angle may include the following steps:

[0062] S10: providing a substrate to be tested;

[0063] S20: Selecting a scanning point on the surface of the substrate to be tested;

[0064] S30: using an XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan on a preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point to obtain a measurement value;

[0065] S40: adjusting and setting the XRD single crystal tester so that the incident light for performing rocking curve scanning on the substrate to be tested is only emitted on the surface of the substrate to be tested, and no diffraction occurs;

[0066] S50: using the XRD single crystal tester with adjusted settings to perform a rocking curve scan on the preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested to obtain a placement deviation;

[0067] S60: Obtaining the bevel angle of the substrate to be measured based on the measurement value and the placement deviation.

[0068] In the above-mentioned bevel angle measurement method, after using the XRD single crystal tester to measure the bevel angle of the substrate to be tested to obtain the measured value, the XRD single crystal tester is adjusted and set to measure the placement deviation, and then the accurate bevel angle can be obtained based on the measured value and the placement deviation.

[0069] In step S10, refer to Figure 1 In step S10, a substrate to be tested is provided.

[0070] Specifically, the substrate to be tested has a bevel angle.

[0071] More specifically, the substrate to be tested may include but is not limited to a gallium nitride substrate.

[0072] In step S20, refer to Figure 1 In step S20, a scanning point is selected on the surface of the substrate to be tested.

[0073] Specifically, in one example, any point on the upper surface of the substrate to be tested can be selected as the scanning point; for example, the center point of the upper surface of the substrate to be tested can be selected as the scanning point; of course, in other examples, the scanning point can also be any point on the upper surface of the substrate to be tested, which is not limited here.

[0074] More specifically, in one example, the scanning point may be recorded as point A, and in the XY plane, the coordinates of point A are (x, y). It should be noted that the XY plane may be the plane where the upper surface of the substrate to be measured is located.

[0075] In step S30, refer to Figure 1 In S30, a rocking curve scan is performed on a preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point using an XRD single crystal tester to obtain a measurement value.

[0076] In an alternative example, see Figure 2 In step S30, using an XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan on a preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point to obtain a measurement value may include the following steps:

[0077] S301: rotating the substrate to be tested by a first preset angle in the XY plane, using an XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan of a preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording a first scanning angle corresponding to a peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step;

[0078] S302: rotating the substrate to be tested after being rotated by the first preset angle by a second preset angle in the XY plane, and again using the XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan of a preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on the scanning point to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording the second scanning angle corresponding to the peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step;

[0079] S303: Using the correction coefficient to subtract the first scanning angle to obtain a first measurement value; using the correction coefficient to subtract the second scanning angle to obtain a second measurement value.

[0080] Specifically, in step S301, the substrate to be tested is first placed on an XRD single crystal tester, and then the substrate to be tested is rotated by a first preset angle in an XY plane.

[0081] In one example, the value range of the first preset angle can be 0° to 270°; specifically, the first preset angle can be 10°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 200°, 230° or 270°, etc.

[0082] In one example, the preset crystal plane may be but is not limited to a (002) crystal plane.

[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preset angle may be m°, and the first scanning angle may be recorded as θ1.

[0084] Specifically, in step S302, the second preset angle may be 90°.

[0085] More specifically, the second preset angle may be recorded as (m+90)°, and the second scanning angle may be recorded as θ2.

[0086] In step S303, the correction coefficient may be 17.28335.

[0087] Specifically, the first measured value is 17.28335-θ1, and the second measured value is 17.28335-θ2. The first measured value and the second measured value are inaccurate bevel angle values ​​in two directions perpendicular to each other.

[0088] It should be noted that, in the process of measuring the bevel angle of the substrate to be tested, since the substrate to be tested itself has a certain warping, and after the substrate to be tested is placed on the stage of the XRD single crystal tester, the substrate to be tested and the stage of the XRD single crystal tester are not completely in contact, there will inevitably be a placement deviation; the measurement value at this time is the sum of the bevel angle of the substrate to be tested and the placement deviation; specifically, the first measurement value and the second measurement value are respectively the sum of the bevel angle of the substrate to be tested in two directions perpendicular to each other and the placement deviation.

[0089] In step S40, refer to Figure 1 In S40, the XRD single crystal tester is adjusted and set so that the incident light used for rocking curve scanning of the substrate to be tested is only emitted on the surface of the substrate to be tested without diffraction.

[0090] In one example, an XRD single crystal tester includes a light source generator, a distance between the light source generator and the substrate to be tested is provided, and the light source generator is used to emit incident light; the incident angle of the incident light incident on the upper surface of the substrate to be tested is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 1°.

[0091] In one example, in step S40, adjusting and setting the XRD single crystal tester includes:

[0092] A slit device is placed between the light source generator and the substrate to be tested, and the slit width of the slit device is 1 / 32 to 1 / 8 of the wavelength of the incident light.

[0093] Specifically, the slit device can be arranged close to the light source generator.

[0094] Specifically, the slit width of the slit device may be 1 / 32, 1 / 16 or 1 / 8 of the wavelength of the incident light, etc.

[0095] In the above example, by providing a slit device and setting the incident angle of the incident light to the above smaller range, it can be ensured that the incident light only forms reflected light on the substrate to be tested, and no diffracted light is formed.

[0096] In step S50, refer to Figure 1 In step S50, a rocking curve scan is performed on the preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested using an XRD single crystal tester with adjusted settings to obtain a placement deviation.

[0097] In an example, see Figure 3 In step S50, a rocking curve scan is performed on a preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested using an XRD single crystal tester with adjusted settings to obtain a placement deviation, including:

[0098] S501: rotating the substrate to be tested by a first preset angle in the XY plane, using an XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan of a preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point, so as to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording a third scanning angle corresponding to a peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step, where the third scanning angle is a first placement deviation corresponding to the first measurement value;

[0099] S502: Rotate the substrate to be tested by a first preset angle to a second preset angle in the XY plane, and use the XRD single crystal tester again to scan the rocking curve of the preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested based on the scanning point to obtain the rocking curve of this step, and record the fourth scanning angle corresponding to the peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step. The third scanning angle is the second placement deviation corresponding to the second measurement value.

[0100] In one example, the first placement deviation can be denoted as θ 1' , the second placement deviation can be recorded as θ 2' The first placement deviation and the second placement deviation are two placement deviations of the substrate to be measured in two directions perpendicular to each other.

[0101] In step S60, refer to Figure 1 In step S60, the bevel angle of the substrate to be measured is obtained based on the measurement value and the placement deviation.

[0102] In one example, in step S60, obtaining the bevel angle of the substrate to be measured based on the measurement value and the placement deviation may include:

[0103] S601: subtracting a first placement deviation from a first measurement value to obtain a first corrected bevel angle;

[0104] S602: Subtracting a second placement deviation from a second measured value to obtain a second corrected bevel angle;

[0105] S603: performing vector conversion on the first corrected bevel angle and the second corrected bevel angle to obtain the bevel angle of the substrate to be measured.

[0106] Specifically, the first scanning angle is recorded as θ1, the first measured value is recorded as 17.28335-θ1, and the third scanning angle can be recorded as θ 1' For example, the first corrected bevel angle is 17.28335-θ1-θ 1' The second scanning angle is recorded as θ2, the second measured value is recorded as 17.28335-θ2, and the fourth scanning angle can be recorded as θ 2' For example, the second corrected bevel angle is 17.28335-θ2-θ 2' .

[0107] In one example, in step S603, performing vector conversion on the first corrected bevel angle and the second corrected bevel angle to obtain the bevel angle of the substrate to be measured includes: performing vector conversion on the first corrected bevel angle and the second corrected bevel angle based on the following formula:

[0108]

[0109] Wherein, offcut is the bevel angle of the substrate to be measured; 17.28335 is the correction coefficient; θ1 is the first scanning angle; θ 1' is the third scanning angle; θ2 is the second scanning angle; θ 2' is the fourth scanning angle.

[0110] Specifically, the direction of the coordinate formed by the two perpendicular directions of the bevel angle at the scanning point A is & = sin(17.28335-θ2-θ 2' ) / (17.28335-θ1-θ 1' ).

[0111] In another embodiment, see Figure 4 In step S30, using an XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan on a preset crystal plane of the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point to obtain a measurement value may include the following steps:

[0112] S301: rotating the substrate to be tested by a first preset angle in the XY plane, using an XRD single crystal tester to perform a rocking curve scan of a preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on a scanning point to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording a first scanning angle corresponding to a peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step;

[0113] S302: rotating the substrate to be tested after being rotated by the first preset angle by a second preset angle in the XY plane, and performing a rocking curve scan of the preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on the scanning point using the XRD single crystal tester again to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording the second scanning angle corresponding to the peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step;

[0114] S303: rotating the substrate to be tested once by the second preset angle by another second preset angle in the XY plane, and performing a rocking curve scan of a preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on the scanning point using the XRD single crystal tester again to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording a third scanning angle corresponding to the peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step;

[0115] S304: rotating the substrate to be tested twice by the second preset angle again by the second preset angle in the XY plane, and performing a rocking curve scan of a preset crystal plane on the substrate to be tested based on the scanning point using the XRD single crystal tester again to obtain a rocking curve of this step, and recording a fourth scanning angle corresponding to the peak value of the rocking curve obtained in this step;

[0116] S305: Use the correction coefficient to subtract the first scanning angle to obtain a first measurement value; use the correction coefficient to subtract the second scanning angle to obtain a second measurement value; use the correction coefficient to subtract the third scanning angle to obtain a third measurement value; use the correction coefficient to subtract the fourth scanning angle to obtain a fourth measurement value.

[0117] Specifically, in step S301, the substrate to be tested is first placed on an XRD single crystal tester, and then the substrate to be tested is rotated by a first preset angle in an XY plane.

[0118] In one example, the first preset angle is 0° to 90°; specifically, the first preset angle may be 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80° or 90°, etc.

[0119] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preset angle may be n°, and the first scanning angle may be denoted as θ n° .

[0120] Specifically, in step S302, the second preset angle may be 90°.

[0121] More specifically, the second preset angle may be recorded as (n+90)°, and the second scanning angle may be recorded as θ (n+90)° .

[0122] Specifically, in step S303, the third preset angle can be recorded as (n+180)°, and the third scanning angle can be recorded as θ (n+180)° .

[0123] Specifically, in step S304, the fourth preset angle can be recorded as (n+270)°, and the fourth scanning angle can be recorded as θ (n+270)° .

[0124] In step S305, the correction coefficient may be 17.28335.

[0125] Specifically, the first measured value is 17.28335-θ n° , the second measured value is 17.28335-θ (n+90)° , the third measured value is 17.28335-θ (n+180)° , the fourth measured value is 17.28335-θ (n+270)° The first measurement value and the second measurement value are inaccurate bevel angle values ​​in four directions perpendicular to each other.

[0126] The first measurement value, the second measurement value, the third measurement value and the fourth measurement value are respectively the sum of the bevel angles of the substrate to be measured in four directions perpendicular to each other and the placement deviations.
