Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of precision measurement, and in particular relates to a method for decoupling the morphology and resonance frequency of a contact resonance atomic force microscope. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of ultra-precision machining technology, various ultra-precision components are widely used in important fields related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as aerospace, quantum communications, new energy, and biomedicine. For example, optical crystal free-form surfaces for laser-induced nuclear fusion, microlens arrays for high-resolution earth observation systems, and nanostructured optical films for photovoltaic energy cells. In addition to strict requirements on machining geometric accuracy, ultra-precision components are also required to have extremely high structural integrity and service reliability. The surface and sub-surface defects of ultra-precision components are one of the key factors affecting their service reliability. High-precision measurement of the surface and sub-surface defects of ultra-precision components is not only a key requirement to ensure the quality of ultra-precision machining, but also an important frontier development direction in the field of micro-nano measurement.
[0003] Research shows that in addition to the inherent defects of the material itself, the complex mechanical, physical and chemical interaction between the tool and the material during ultra-precision machining is the main reason for inducing defects in the workpiece. The defective areas caused by the machining process mainly exist on the surface and sub-surface of the workpiece. Among them, surface defects are easy to detect and can also be removed through subsequent ultra-precision polishing and other processes; while sub-surface defects are hidden below the surface and are difficult to detect and remove, which is a serious hidden danger affecting the performance and reliability of ultra-precision components. For example: For the primary mirror of the aerospace telescope used in the aerospace observation system, even extremely small sub-surface defects are easy to further expand and cause mechanical stress concentration in the extreme environment of deep space with large temperature differences, eventually leading to mirror distortion, seriously affecting the imaging quality and the safety of the aerospace system. The formation mechanism and morphological characteristics of sub-surface defects generated during ultra-precision machining are different from traditional machining technologies. For example, in the ultra-precision cutting process of brittle materials such as silicon and germanium, due to the combined influence of inherent material properties such as high hardness, low toughness, easy brittle cracking, as well as scale effects and crystal anisotropy, material extrusion phase transition, lattice slip dislocation and other phenomena are prone to occur, resulting in sub-surface damage. Specifically, they manifest as sub-surface defects such as micro-nanoscale fractures, cracks, dislocations, twin structures, etc., and their scales can be as large as several microns, hundreds of nanometers, or as small as tens of nanometers or even several nanometers.
[0004] In order to meet the sub-surface detection needs of ultra-precision machining components, micro-nano-scale sub-surface defect detection has become a key technical hotspot. Common detection methods include electron microscopy, ultrasound and other methods. Using a transmission electron microscope, sub-nanometer sub-surface defect detection can be achieved by extracting cross-sections of the sample to be tested for transmission detection. However, this method requires that the sample used for detection is thin enough, so the sample needs to be sliced and thinned by focused ion beam. On the one hand, this method will cause irreversible damage to the sample. On the other hand, the method of focused ion beam sampling and thinning is not only time-consuming, but also has high costs and operating conditions. Ultrasound, as the most common defect detection method, is widely used in various fields such as medicine and industry. The ultrasonic method can analyze the ultrasonic echo signal to realize micron-level sub-surface defect detection, and can achieve high-precision three-dimensional positioning of defective materials. The resolution of this method is determined by the Rayleigh limit and increases with the increase of ultrasonic drive frequency. However, the existing GHz ultrasonic drive detection system cannot achieve nanometer-level high-precision detection.
[0005] In order to meet the needs of non-destructive sub-surface defect detection with nano-level precision, ultrasonic atomic force microscopy (UAFM) combining ultrasonic vibration with atomic force microscopy came into being. UAFM reflects the sub-surface defect information of materials by driving the atomic force microscope probe with nano-level amplitude from kHz to MHz and tracking the changes in the probe working frequency. This method gives the atomic force microscope with nano-level lateral resolution the ability to characterize sub-surface defects, while also retaining extremely high detection resolution. For samples with nano-level flat surfaces, UAFM can detect nano-level defect structures buried under hundreds of nanometers or even microns, and is a very promising sub-surface defect detection technology for ultra-precision components. However, this method will cause coupling between surface morphology and resonant frequency signals when there are morphological fluctuations on the sample surface, which weakens the scope of application of this method to a certain extent. Decoupling of surface morphology and resonant frequency information is an urgent need for UAFM to achieve high-accuracy detection of ultra-precision components with surface morphology, such as metasurface lenses. In addition, the decoupling of surface morphology and material modulus information can also achieve high-precision detection of material micro-areas and improve the adaptability of material characterization.
