AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the displacement measurement error of right-angle prisms is relatively large and cannot be applied to the displacement measurement of both plane mirrors and right-angle prisms at the same time, which results in the overlay error of the lithography machine not being able to reach the 1nm limit.
An interferometric displacement measurement device based on the Sagnac structure is adopted, which uses a right-angle prism instead of a plane mirror. Through components such as a dual-frequency laser, a polarizing beam splitter, and an optical fiber coupler, four times optical subdivision and phase decoupling are achieved, reducing the influence of multi-order virtual reflection light and improving measurement accuracy.
It improves the displacement measurement accuracy of right-angle prisms and plane mirrors, enabling sub-picometer level measurements. It is suitable for displacement control of CNC machine tools and workpiece tables, and reduces the periodic nonlinear error of the measurement system.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to displacement measuring devices, and more specifically to an interferometric displacement measuring device based on a Sagnac structure. Background Technology
[0002] In high-precision step displacement measurement, heterodyne laser interferometry (LIFT) devices often introduce multi-level nonlinear errors with progressively varying degrees of nonlinearity due to periodic nonlinearity, resulting in significant stray light in nanometer-scale step measurements. Numerous studies have shown that periodic nonlinearity mainly comprises two parts: one is the periodic nonlinearity introduced by the laser cross-aliasing of the dual-frequency laser itself; the other is the periodic nonlinearity of the multi-order virtual reflection beams generated by the optical interfaces of the optical elements within the measurement structure. Using a right-angle prism as the measurement substrate instead of a plane mirror can significantly reduce the impact of nonlinearity errors.
[0003] In the current development of lithography machines, reducing the overlay error between the mask stage and the workpiece stage to achieve a silicon wafer circuit linewidth of 1nm requires a displacement measurement accuracy of 1nm or even sub-picometer. However, existing technologies still have relatively large displacement measurement errors for right-angle prisms and cannot be applied to the displacement measurement of both plane mirrors and right-angle prisms simultaneously.

[0141] like Figure 3 As shown, the displacement measuring device in this embodiment is basically the same as the displacement measuring device in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the displacement measuring device in this embodiment also includes a beam splitter 7, a second polarizing beam splitter 202, and a second fiber coupler 602. The beam splitter 7 is disposed in the optical path between the dual-frequency laser 1 and the first polarizing beam splitter 201.

The second polarizing beam splitter 202 is disposed in the optical path between the first fiber coupler 601 and the first polarizing beam splitter 201. The beam splitting surface of the second polarizing beam splitter 202 is parallel to the beam splitting surface of the first polarizing beam splitter 201. The second fiber coupler 602 is disposed on the side of the second polarizing beam splitter 202 near the second side of the first polarizing beam splitter 201, so that the first fiber coupler 601 receives part of the measurement light and reference light after participating in the measurement, realizing coarse displacement measurement, and the second fiber coupler 602 receives another part of the measurement light and reference light after participating in the measurement, realizing fine displacement measurement.
[0142] The displacement measurement of the right-angle prism 3 under test using the displacement measuring device of this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0143] Step A1: The plane mirror 402 under test is fixed in place, and the dual-frequency laser 1 outputs a measurement light with a frequency of f1 and a reference light with a frequency of f2.
[0144] Step A2: The measuring light and the reference light enter the beam splitter 7 together, and are split according to energy by the beam splitter 7 to form reflected light and transmitted light;
[0145] The reflected light is transmitted through the second polarizing beam splitter 202 to form horizontally linearly polarized light a1 with frequency f1, and reflected to form vertically linearly polarized light a2 with frequency f2.
[0146] Horizontally linearly polarized light a1 is incident on the second fiber coupler 602;
[0147] Vertically linearly polarized light a2 is incident on the first fiber coupler 601;
[0148] The transmitted light is transmitted through the first polarizing beam splitter 201 to form horizontally polarized light b1 with frequency f1, and reflected to form vertically polarized light b2 with frequency f2.
[0149] The horizontal linearly polarized light b1 is reflected by the two reflections of the to-be-measured right-angle prism 3, reflected by the mirror 401, transmitted by the first polarization beam-splitting prism 201, transmitted by the first quarter-wave plate 501, and the polarization state changes from horizontal linear polarization to left-handed elliptical polarization. Then, the left-handed elliptical polarization is reflected by the to-be-measured plane mirror 402, transmitted by the first quarter-wave plate 501, and the polarization state changes from left-handed elliptical polarization to vertical polarization. Then, the vertical polarization is reflected by the first polarization beam-splitting prism 201, transmitted by the second quarter-wave plate 502, and the polarization state changes from vertical polarization to right-handed elliptical polarization. Then, the right-handed elliptical polarization is reflected by the two reflections of the to-be-measured right-angle prism 3, reflected by the mirror 401, transmitted by the third quarter-wave plate 503, and the polarization state changes from right-handed elliptical polarization to horizontal linear polarization. Then, the horizontal linear polarization is transmitted by the first polarization beam-splitting prism 201 and the first quarter-wave plate 501, and the polarization state changes from horizontal linear polarization to left-handed elliptical polarization. Then, the left-handed elliptical polarization is reflected by the to-be-measured plane mirror 402 and transmitted by the first quarter-wave plate 501, and the polarization state changes from left-handed elliptical polarization to vertical polarization. Then, the vertical polarization is reflected by the first polarization beam-splitting prism 201, reflected by the two reflections of the to-be-measured right-angle prism 3, reflected by the mirror 401, reflected by the first polarization beam-splitting prism 201, reflected by the second polarization beam-splitting prism 202, and finally incident on the second fiber coupler 602.
[0150] The vertical polarization b2 is transmitted by the third quarter-wave plate 503, and the polarization state changes from vertical polarization to left-handed elliptical polarization. Then, the left-handed elliptical polarization is reflected by the mirror 401, reflected by the two reflections of the to-be-measured right-angle prism 3, transmitted by the second quarter-wave plate 502, and the polarization state changes from left-handed elliptical polarization to horizontal linear polarization. Then, the horizontal linear polarization is transmitted by the first polarization beam-splitting prism 201 and the second polarization beam-splitting prism 202, and finally incident on the first fiber coupler 601.
[0151] In step A3, the first fiber coupler 601 receives two beams of orthogonal linearly polarized light at the same time. The Doppler frequency shift information of the reference light is f2, the Doppler frequency shift information of the measurement light is f2-Δf1, and the Doppler frequency shift information of the interference signal when the measurement light and the reference light interfere is Δf1.
[0152] In step A3, the first fiber coupler 601 receives two beams of orthogonal linearly polarized light at the same time. The Doppler frequency shift information of the reference light is f2, the Doppler frequency shift information of the measurement light is f2-Δf1, and the Doppler frequency shift information of the interference signal when the measurement light and the reference light interfere is Δf1.
[0153] In step A4, by phase decoupling, when the interference signal of the first fiber coupler 601 and the interference signal of the second fiber coupler 602 are added, the Doppler frequency shift amount is 4Δf1, and when they are subtracted, the Doppler frequency shift amount is 2Δf1. Then, the displacement amount S1 of the to-be-measured right-angle prism 3 is calculated.
[0154] When the phase coupling is subtracted, the total phase delay is phase 1, then
[0155] When the phase coupling is added, the total phase delay is phase 2, then
[0156] The displacement measurement device of the third embodiment is used to measure the displacement of the to-be-measured plane mirror 402, and the specific steps include the following steps:
[0157] Step B1, the to-be-measured right-angle prism 3 is fixed, the measurement light with a frequency of f1 and the reference light with a frequency of f2 are generated by the dual-frequency laser 1;
[0158] Step B2 is specifically that the measurement light and the reference light enter the beam splitter prism 7 together, and the beam splitter prism 7 performs energy splitting on the measurement light and the reference light to form reflected light and transmitted light;
[0159] The reflected light is transmitted by the second polarization beam splitter 202 to form horizontal linearly polarized light a1 with a frequency of f1, and reflected to form vertical linearly polarized light a2 with a frequency of f2;
[0160] The horizontal linearly polarized light a1 is incident on the second fiber coupler 602;
[0161] The vertical linearly polarized light a2 is incident on the first fiber coupler 601;
[0162] The transmitted light is transmitted by the first polarization beam splitter 201 to form horizontal linearly polarized light b1 with a frequency of f1, and reflected to form vertical linearly polarized light b2 with a frequency of f2;
[0163] Horizontally linearly polarized light b1 is sequentially reflected twice by the right-angle prism 3 under test, reflected by mirror 401, transmitted by the first polarizing beam splitter 201, and transmitted by the first quarter-wave plate 501, changing its polarization state from horizontally polarized to left-handed elliptically polarized. It is then sequentially reflected by the plane mirror 402 under test and transmitted by the first quarter-wave plate 501, changing its polarization state from left-handed elliptically polarized to vertically polarized. It is then sequentially reflected by the first polarizing beam splitter 201 and transmitted by the second quarter-wave plate 502, changing its polarization state from vertically polarized to right-handed elliptically polarized. Finally, it is sequentially reflected twice by the right-angle prism 3 under test, reflected by mirror 401, and transmitted by the third quarter-wave plate 501. The light is transmitted through a wave plate 503, changing its polarization state from right-handed elliptically polarized light to horizontally polarized light. Then, it is transmitted through the first polarizing beam splitter 201 and the first quarter-wave plate 501, changing its polarization state from horizontally polarized light to left-handed elliptically polarized light. Then, it is reflected by the plane mirror 402 under test and transmitted through the first quarter-wave plate 501, changing its polarization state from left-handed elliptically polarized light to vertically polarized light. Then, it is reflected by the first polarizing beam splitter 201, reflected twice by the right-angle prism 3 under test, reflected by the mirror 401, reflected by the first polarizing beam splitter 201, reflected by the second polarizing beam splitter 202, and finally incident on the second fiber coupler 602.
[0164] Vertically polarized light b2 is transmitted through the third quarter-wave plate 503, changing its polarization state from vertically polarized light to left-handed elliptically polarized light. Then, it is reflected by the mirror 401, reflected twice by the right-angle prism 3 to be tested, and transmitted through the second quarter-wave plate 502, changing its polarization state from left-handed elliptically polarized light to horizontally polarized light. Finally, it is transmitted through the first polarizing beam splitter 201 and the second polarizing beam splitter 202, and finally incident on the first fiber coupler 601.
[0165] Step B3: The first fiber coupler 601 simultaneously receives two beams of orthogonally linearly polarized light and obtains the interference signal after phase decoupling of the two beams of orthogonally linearly polarized light; the Doppler frequency shift information of the reference light is recorded as f2; the Doppler frequency shift information of the measurement light is recorded as f2; the Doppler frequency shift information of the interference signal when the measurement light and the reference light interfere is recorded as 0.
[0166] The second fiber coupler 602 simultaneously receives two beams of orthogonally linearly polarized light. The Doppler frequency shift information of the reference light is denoted as f1; the Doppler frequency shift information of the measurement light is denoted as f1-2Δf2; and the Doppler frequency shift information of the interference signal when the measurement light and the reference light interfere is denoted as 2Δf2.
