Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of chip miniaturization, integrating more electronic components within the limited space of the chip has become the focus of chip technology. The increase in the number and types of electronic components has made the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of chips increasingly prominent. Measuring the near-field magnetic field distribution on the chip surface is an important method for analyzing EMC issues.

[0003] Currently, near-field magnetic field measurements on chip surfaces mostly rely on magnetometers with metal probes. Electromagnetic coupling between the metal probe and the chip can lead to inaccurate measurement results. Quantum magnetic measurement methods using non-metallic probes can overcome this problem. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center method, among others, can measure at room temperature and requires simple equipment, making it increasingly widely used in electromagnetic measurement. However, existing solutions for measuring near-field magnetic fields on large chip surfaces often rely on point-by-point scanning with a single color center, which is slow and time-consuming.

The microwave switch, isolator and microwave source are connected in sequence. The microwave switch is placed on the first layer of the microwave system box 18, and the isolator and microwave source are placed on the second layer.

[0084] Specifically, the use process of the chip near-field magnetic field measurement system is as follows:

[0085] Step 1: Power on and test the device

[0086] Turn on the equipment power, power the computer, laser source, microwave source, and time delay device, start the measurement and control software and image acquisition and processing software on the computer, and use the measurement and control software to check whether the laser control and microwave source control are normal, check whether the delay device output and input are normal. Use the image acquisition and processing software to check whether the CCD is working properly.

[0087] Step 2: Diamond Color Center to Axis

[0088] Turn on the laser, turn on the CCD camera, turn on the time delay device and computer control software, use the software to control the laser output, and irradiate the laser onto the diamond piece through the liquid core optical fiber and the incident lens group. Adjust the angle of the diamond piece fixture and observe the fluorescence signal collected by the CCD camera. Fix the fixture when the collected fluorescence signal is the strongest.

[0089] Step 3: Laser Homogenization

[0090] Magnetic field measurement is performed using simultaneous excitation of multiple color centers. To ensure sufficient laser light power density on each color center of the irradiated surface and uniformity and synchronization of the excitation of the color centers, after the laser is turned on, the laser enters the liquid core fiber to homogenize the laser light emitted by the laser.

[0091] Step 4: Laser Modulation

[0092] The laser light homogenized by the liquid core fiber enters the acousto-optic modulator, and a clock signal is generated by a delay device. The computer controls the acousto-optic modulator according to the clock signal, turning the continuous laser light into a modulated laser light.

[0093] Step 5: Kohler Illumination System Adjustment

[0094] The modulated laser signal enters the incident lens assembly and becomes a uniform circular spot. The spot diameter is determined according to the size of the diamond piece 10. The diameter is generally the diameter of the inscribed circle of the diamond piece, such as Figure 8 .

[0095] In order to obtain this light spot, it is necessary to adjust the two apertures in the incident lens group box. The incident lens group box structure includes a collecting mirror, a field diaphragm, an aperture diaphragm and a condenser.

[0096] The iris can be adjusted according to the formula. First, the aperture diaphragm D needs to be determined. 孔 Size:

[0097] D 孔 =2F 聚 U (1)

[0098] Among them, U is the lens size of the condenser, F 聚 is the focal length of the condenser. Next, determine the position of the field stop, where the field stop position L2 is:

[0099] L2=LF 聚 / (F 聚 -L) (2)

[0100] Among them, L is the optical path distance from the condenser to the object surface, that is, the diamond plate. Next, determine the size of the field stop. This step determines whether the spot size coming out of the lens group meets the requirements. The field stop D 视 The size is:

[0101] D 视 =2 μL2 / L (3)

[0102] Where y is the radius of the light spot, which is 1.5 mm in this device.

[0103] Step 6: Quantum State Microwave Modulation

[0104] The uniformly circular light spot generated by the incident lens array illuminates the diamond disc, exciting the color centers therein and causing them to emit red fluorescence. At this point, a computer controls the microwave source, following a clock signal from a time delay device, to emit the desired microwave signal. This signal is amplified by a power amplifier and then enters the microwave antenna, where it controls the quantum state of the diamond color centers.

[0105] Step 7: Quantum state manipulation

[0106] Diamond color centers contain two quantum states, 0 and ±1. Quantum state manipulation aims to alter the ratio of these two states so that the arrangement of these states reflects magnetic field information. Specifically, after the color centers in a diamond disc are excited by 532nm laser light, their quantum states change from ground state to excited state. Because the excited state is unstable, this quantum state automatically falls back to the ground state and emits red fluorescence at 637nm. The ground state consists of 0 and ±1 states. During the fallback of the ±1 state, 30% of the quanta first reach a transient state and then fall back to the ground state. These quanta do not emit light during this fallback process, resulting in the ±1 state quanta emitting approximately 30% less fluorescence than the 0 state quanta. There is an energy difference between the 0 and ±1 states. This energy difference will be compensated by the external microwave field of a specific frequency. That is, under the microwave field of a specific frequency, the quantum state will be reversed from 0 to ±1, which will cause the brightness of the diamond piece in the CCD camera to drop by about 30% at this specific frequency. This frequency is determined by the measured magnetic field. When it is determined that the quantum state controls the microwave frequency of the antenna when the brightness of the diamond fluorescence decreases, the measured magnetic field value can be known.

[0107] Step 8: Power on the Chip

[0108] Place the chip under test on the electrically controlled two-dimensional translation stage, then power it up to keep it in normal working order. Use a computer to control the translation stage. If the chip surface area is smaller than the diamond sheet, move it directly under the diamond sheet. The device can obtain the chip's near magnetic field data in one measurement. If it is a large-area chip, that is, the chip's surface area is larger than the diamond sheet, place the chip and the inscribed square of the light spot in the same way. Figure 9 .

[0109] Step 9: Decouple the sequence control laser source, microwave system and CCD camera for signal acquisition

[0110] After completing the excitation light path setting and chip placement, use the computer to control the laser source, microwave system, and CCD camera to start working in sequence. The working time and working order of the three are determined by the dynamic decoupling sequence used in the detection. The following is an example of a simple decoupling sequence. Figure 10 As shown: Figure 10From top to bottom in the figure, the microwave control sequence, laser control signal, and CCD camera control signal are shown. For the microwave control sequence, when the delay device generates the clock signal shown above, the computer converts this clock signal into a control signal, controlling the microwave source to emit microwave signals at the rectangular location. Similarly, for the laser control signal, when the signal is at a high level, the laser emits laser light. For the CCD camera control signal, when the signal is at a high level, the CCD camera begins collecting signals. Under the combined influence of the laser, the quantum state control microwave, and the near-magnetic field on the chip surface, the diamond disc emits a fluorescence signal containing information about the near-magnetic field on the chip surface. This signal enters the CCD front lens group.

[0111] After being attenuated by this lens group, the fluorescence signal enters the CCD camera and is collected within the CCD camera's acquisition time. The acquisition process is typically repeated N times, where N depends on the CCD camera's ion trap capacity. Before the trap is full, a larger N value results in greater contrast in the collected signal.

[0112] Step 10: The electronically controlled two-dimensional translation stage drives the chip to start moving

[0113] like Figure 11 The computer calculates the moving step length of the two-dimensional translation stage according to the chip area. The side length of the square inscribed in the spot is L3, the width of the chip is L4, and the length is L5. Calculation:

[0114] L4 / L3=n…x.

[0115] L5 / L3=m…y1.

[0116] Where n and m are integers, x and y1 are remainders, and then we calculate:

[0117] L4 / (n+1)=k.

[0118] L5 / (m+1)=z.

[0119] Among them, k and z are the moving steps of the chip in its width and length directions. The path of chip movement is serpentine, as shown in the following example: Figure 12 ,If the chip has irregular parts, then construct a rectangle according to the maximum length and width of the chip.

[0120] Step 11: Data Processing

[0121] After collecting fluorescence data containing the near-magnetic field information of the chip under test using a CCD camera and an image acquisition card, the fluorescence data needs to be processed. First, the fluorescence data at each location is integrated over time, and the measured information is the relative value of the magnetic field strength. This data needs to be compared with preset standard points to obtain the absolute value of the near-magnetic field at each point.

[0122] Step 12: Image Processing

[0123] Through data processing, a magnetic field map is obtained. The map contains position information and magnetic field strength information. By adding color gradation to the magnetic field information, a magnetic field imaging map can be generated. This map is a magnetic field imaging map when the chip stops moving and resides under the diamond piece. To obtain the near-field magnetic field imaging map of the entire chip, it is necessary to perform an image stitching of the magnetic field imaging of multiple regions. According to the plan for chip displacement measurement, each regional magnetic field map will have overlapping parts with adjacent magnetic map data. Using the image stitching algorithm, the overlapping parts of the data are used as stitching targets to complete the image stitching, and finally the near-field magnetic field imaging map of the large-area chip is obtained. The stitching result is as follows: Figure 13 Image stitching is divided into four steps: image matching, reprojection, stitching and fusion. First, the positional relationship of several images needs to be determined and arranged according to the displacement direction of the two-dimensional translation stage. Then, these images are converted to a coordinate system through the geometric transformation of the image. Then, a larger canvas is generated by merging the pixel values ​​of the overlapping parts and keeping the pixel values ​​without overlapping. Finally, in order to avoid discontinuous parts in the image, that is, to avoid the appearance of seams, the stitching algorithm is used to optimize the image.

[0124] The present invention adopts a quantum measurement solution to measure the near-field magnetic field of the chip, which has the advantages of high sensitivity, non-invasiveness and non-destructiveness, and the solution avoids the use of metal probes, which can avoid inaccurate measurement results due to coupling. Diamond NV color center is used as the material for quantum measurement, which has the advantage of being able to complete detection at room temperature, does not require the low-temperature superconducting environment required for some quantum measurements, and the cost of environmental construction is very low. Liquid core optical fiber is used to perform the first-level homogenization of the laser, and then the laser can be homogenized when entering the optical system, avoiding the laser energy loss caused by the general use of cutting and homogenization solutions, and ensuring the subsequent light power density of the diamond color center excitation. The incident lens group and the CCD front lens group adopt the method of a combined mirror box, which reduces the influence of external light on the optical path of the device, and the lens of the mirror box can be replaced, which is convenient for subsequent upgrades of the system and modifications according to different needs. The incident lens group uses the Köhler illumination system to convert the laser into a uniform light spot. The field diaphragm and aperture diaphragm used in this Köhler illumination system are both adjustable diaphragms, which can control the area of ​​the formed light spot, further control the number of excited color centers, and achieve adjustment of sensitivity and detection speed. The exit lens group can be installed with filters according to measurement requirements, which can significantly reduce the impact of stray light on the signal acquisition of the image receiving end of the device. Light attenuation plates can also be installed according to the light tolerance of different signal receivers (CCD cameras). The installation of the penetration group is carried out in the form of a lens group box, which greatly improves the optical stability and has a light-shielding effect, avoiding the influence of natural light on the light excitation and light collection of the device. The Köhler illumination system is used in conjunction with a large-area diamond sheet to achieve wide-field chip near-magnetic field rapid imaging. Compared with the general single-color center measurement solution, the detection speed is improved and dynamic magnetic field imaging of the chip can be achieved. Using an area array CCD camera instead of a traditional photon detector to collect near-magnetic field signals can achieve surface-by-surface near-magnetic field signal acquisition, and an algorithm can be used to calculate the positional relationship between the magnetic field image and the chip surface. The algorithm can also be used to analyze the magnetic field trend at a certain point or area. Using a computer and a delay device for combined control, a variety of dynamically decoupled measurement sequences can be achieved, and different measurement requirements can be adapted by changing the measurement method. Using an image processing image stitching algorithm, combined with a high-precision electrically controlled two-position translation stage, large-area chips are imaged by measuring and imaging in different areas and then stitching the images together to achieve rapid imaging of large-area chips, allowing visualization of the surface near-magnetic field of large-area chips.
