This measurement is not only related to product quality, but also can significantly improve production process efficiency and reduce costs. Figure 1 The film thickness measurement method is usually to use a light source to emit incident light to the film sample 6, so that the incident light is perpendicular to the film sample 6 and is reflected by the upper and lower surfaces of the film sample 6 to generate two beams of reflected light. When the two beams of reflected light meet in space, they will interfere due to the same amplitude and frequency, and then the film thickness is measured by calculating the reflectivity. Specifically, the reflectivity can be calculated according to the Fresnel formula. For vertical incidence, the reflection coefficient r and the transmission coefficient t can be expressed as follows: Among them, r and t are complex numbers, containing amplitude and phase information. n1 is the refractive index of air, and n2 is the refractive index of the film. Through r and t, the reflectivity can be calculated, and the film thickness can be calculated through the reflectivity: Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies: In the photovoltaic industry, in order to improve the light trapping of silicon wafers, silicon wafers are usually treated with alkali to achieve texturing, and finally a pyramid-shaped velvet surface is obtained. In the subsequent process, other thin films need to be deposited on the velvet silicon wafer. Since the velvet silicon surface has significant roughness, it does not conform to the smooth surface assumed by the Fresnel formula. Therefore, it is easy to have inaccurate measurement results.

[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0025] The embodiment of the present application discloses a method for measuring the thickness of a thin film on a textured silicon substrate.
[0026] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 , a method for measuring the thickness of a thin film on a suede silicon substrate, comprising the following steps: Before measuring thickness, you need to prepare first. The specific steps are as follows: A spectrometer 1 is used to collect standard spectrum data and dark spectrum data, and another spectrometer is used to collect dark spectrum data, and the collected data are uploaded to the lower computer 2. In this process, the test coordinates and test angles of the thin film sample 6 are continuously adjusted, and the spectrum signal is analyzed by the lower computer 2 to find the test coordinates and test angles corresponding to the maximum value.
[0028] Import the film optical parameters into the lower computer 2. The specific steps are as follows: According to the film structure constructed by the user, derive the optical parameters of each layer, including the wavelength array lamb, the film complex refractive index array nk_list, and the array of nk_list contains the relationship between the wavelength and complex refractive index of each layer of material. Similarly, the thickness array d_list and the thickness range array d_range_list are obtained. The following is an example of a specific optical parameter: lamb = [200 300 ... 1100]; nk_list=[[2.31+0.57j 1.55+0.j][2.18+0.03j 1.51+0.j] ……[1.30+0.01j 1.44+0.j]]; d_list = [200 200]; d_range_list=[[50,1000][50,1000]].
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 After the preparation work is completed, enter the measurement phase. The specific steps are as follows: At least one light beam is vertically incident on the surface of the thin film sample 6, and the reflected light beam is received by the reflected light probe 12.
[0030] The position of the film sample 6 is adjusted so that the film sample 6 is at a suitable test coordinate and angle.
[0031] Under appropriate test coordinates and angles, the position where the incident light beam 31 first hits the surface of the thin film sample 6 is the first position 61 , and the other position where the incident light beam 31 hits the surface of the thin film sample 6 after being reflected is the second position 62 .
[0032] When the light beam is incident vertically onto the surface of the thin film sample 6, the incident light beam 31 is reflected and refracted at the first position 61, thereby forming a first reflected light ray 32, and the refracted light ray is reflected at the interface between the thin film and silicon, and the reflected light ray is refracted at the interface between the thin film and air and leaves the thin film, thereby obtaining a second reflected light ray 33. The first reflected light ray 32 and the second reflected light ray 33 are incident on the second position 62 at the same time, and the first reflected light ray 32 and the second reflected light ray 33 are both reflected and refracted at the second position 62, so that the first reflected light ray 32 is reflected to form a third reflected light ray 34 and refracted to form a fourth reflected light ray 35, and the second reflected light ray 33 is reflected to form a fifth reflected light ray 36 and refracted to form a sixth reflected light ray 37, thereby facilitating the reflected light probe 12 to receive the first reflected light ray 32, the second reflected light ray 33, the third reflected light ray 34, the fourth reflected light ray 35, the fifth reflected light ray 36 and the sixth reflected light ray 37.
[0033] In summary, the fourth reflected light 35 , the fifth reflected light 36 and the sixth reflected light 37 meet the interference condition, so that the received spectral data can be parsed by constructing a suitable optical model to analyze the film thickness information of the thin film sample 6 .
[0034] It should be noted that when the incident light beam 31 is incident on the surface of the thin film sample 6, the area of the light spot formed by the incident light beam 31 on the surface of the thin film sample 6 is larger than the area of a single pyramid on the surface of the thin film sample 6, and the reflection directions of the corresponding reflected light on the four faces of the pyramid are different, so that the reflected light probe 12 can only receive the reflected light from one of the faces of the pyramid.
[0035] Set the incident light intensity at the first position 61 to I 0 , the effective incident light intensity is I 0_cal , I 0 The acquisition can be measured by a whiteboard or other standard sample through a light source and a spectrometer 1. It can be understood that the incident light hits the "pyramid" vertically. In the current algorithm, only the incident light on one side of the "pyramid" will participate in the calculation. The calculation formula for the effective incident light intensity is as follows: I 0_cal =0.25·I 0 .
[0036] It should be noted that the value calculated by the calculation formula for effective incident light intensity is an approximate value.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , according to the Fresnel formula and the transfer matrix method, the reflectivity of the light beam at the first position 61 is calculated, and the specific steps are as follows: For non-vertically incident s-waves and p-waves, according to the Fresnel formula, the reflection coefficients are: Among them, r s is the reflection coefficient of s wave, r p is the reflection coefficient of the p-wave, n1 is the refractive index of the incident medium, n2 is the refractive index of the transmission medium, θ1 is the incident angle, and θ2 is the refraction angle. And n1, n2, θ1 and θ2 satisfy the following relationship: According to the transmission matrix method, for each layer of the multilayer film, a characteristic matrix can be constructed according to the refractive index, thickness and incident angle of the layer. The specific construction formula is as follows: Among them, M i is the characteristic matrix of each layer of the multilayer film, cos(δ i )and These elements describe the phase changes and amplitude changes of light waves in a medium. and cos(δ i ) also describes phase and amplitude changes, but for different polarizations or directions of propagation. i is the phase thickness, which describes the phase difference accumulated when the light wave propagates in the medium. i is the thickness of the film, λ is the wavelength, n i is the refractive index of the medium, q i It is the wave vector component, which is related to the propagation direction and refractive index of the light wave in the medium, and is used to describe the reflection and transmission characteristics of the light wave at the medium interface.
[0038] After obtaining the characteristic matrix of each layer, the characteristic matrices are multiplied in sequence to obtain the transmission matrix of the entire multilayer film. The calculation formula is as follows: M total =M 1 ·M 2 ·…·M N Among them, M total is the transmission matrix of the entire multilayer film, M 1 , M 2 , ....., M N are the characteristic matrices of each layer in the multilayer film. total Calculate the reflectivity R at the first position 61 1 , the calculation formula is as follows: The above formula can be encapsulated as a function: f(param,x,bound). Among them, param is a parameter, which is a fixed value; x is the thickness of each layer, which is an unknown number; bound is the range of the thickness of each layer. And param contains the initial incident angle θ1, the refractive index list nlist , Extinction coefficient list k list , which can be expressed as: param = [θ1, n list ,k list ].
[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Next, the reflected light intensity at the first position 61 is calculated using the following formula: I R1 =R 1 I 0_cal Among them, I R1 is the reflected light intensity at the first position.
[0040] According to the intensity of the reflected light at the first position 61, the theoretical reflectivity at the second position 62 can be calculated, and the calculation formula is as follows: Among them, R 2_theory is the theoretical reflectivity, I R_exp is the reflected light intensity actually measured at the second position 62 .
[0041] The structures at the first position 61 and the second position 62 of the fitting film sample 6 are exactly the same, so the reflectivity coefficient and the transmittance coefficient at the second position 62 are the same as those at the first position 61. Therefore, when it is necessary to calculate the actual reflectivity at the second position 62, the function at the first position 61 can be directly called, and the calculation formula is as follows: in, is the reflectivity calculated at the second position 62 , and θ3 is the incident angle of the incident light at the second position 62 .
[0042] In this embodiment, the incident angle of the incident light at the first position 61 is θ1, and θ1=54.74°; the incident angle θ3 at the second position 62 is 15.78°. The specific derivation process is as follows: ∠θ3=90°-(180°-∠γ-∠β) ∠β=180°-2*∠θ1 ∠γ=90°-∠θ1 In summary, ∠θ3=180°-3*∠θ1.
[0043] Finally, by calculating the reflectivity at different wavelengths and substituting the calculated values into the theoretical formula for calculation, the thickness value of the film sample 6 can be obtained. The specific theoretical formula is as follows: Among them, lamb start is the starting position of the calculated wavelength, lambend is the calculated wavelength end position, where the specific step size is related to the parameter settings of the spectrometer and the accuracy required for calculation. Through the calculation of the above formula, a function can be obtained to evaluate the similarity between the calculated reflectivity curve and the theoretical reflectivity curve. Then, all thickness values within the thickness range are traversed for calculation. Each thickness value can get a corresponding Δr value. All Δr are combined to obtain an array Δr about all thickness values. list , take the minimum value, and the thickness value corresponding to the minimum value is the film thickness.
[0044] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a device for measuring the thickness of a thin film on a textured silicon substrate, which is used to implement the above-mentioned method for measuring the thickness of a thin film on a textured silicon substrate.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 A device for measuring the thickness of a thin film on a textured silicon substrate includes a spectrometer 1, a slave computer 2, a light source 3, a sample moving platform 4 and a box 5. The spectrometer 1 and the slave computer 2 are respectively arranged outside the box 5, and two spectrometers 1 are provided. The two spectrometers 1 are respectively electrically connected to the slave computer 2, so that the spectrometer 1 can transmit the spectrum signal to the slave computer 2, and the slave computer 2 is used to receive and send signals and perform data processing on the signals.
[0046] The spectrometer 1 is provided with an SMA905 interface for connecting an optical fiber. One spectrometer 1 is connected to an incident light probe 11 through an optical fiber for calibrating the incident light intensity information; the other spectrometer 1 is connected to a reflected light probe 12 through an optical fiber for receiving the light intensity information reflected from the second position 62. The incident light probe 11 and the reflected light probe 12 are respectively installed in the box 5.

The incident light probe 11 is connected to the light source 3 through an optical fiber, and the optical fiber and the light source 3 also use an SMA905 interface, and the wavelength range is optional.
[0048] A film sample 6 is placed on the sample moving stage 4. In this embodiment, the sample moving stage 4 can drive the film sample 6 to move horizontally and rotate, so as to facilitate adjusting the angle and coordinate of the film sample 6, so as to facilitate measuring the film sample 6 at different angles and coordinates.
[0049] It should be noted that the specific structure of the sample moving stage 4 is a conventional technical means for those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.
[0050] When the film sample 6 is placed on the sample moving stage 4, the angle between the incident light probe 11 and the horizontal plane of the film sample 6 is 90 degrees, and the spacing between the incident light probe 11 and the film sample 6 is 5-10 mm, so as to ensure that the light is incident vertically. At this time, the angle between the reflected light probe 12 and the horizontal plane of the film sample 6 is 50-52 degrees, and the spacing between the reflected light probe 12 and the film sample 6 is 5-10 mm, so that the reflected light probe 12 can receive the reflected light at a specific angle. In this embodiment, the angle between the reflected light probe 12 and the horizontal plane of the film sample 6 is 51 degrees.
[0051] The implementation principle of the device for measuring the thickness of a thin film on a textured silicon substrate in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the thickness of the thin film sample 6 needs to be measured, the light source 3 emits a light beam to the thin film sample 6 through the incident light probe 11, so that the light beam is vertically incident on the thin film sample 6. At this time, the reflected light probe 12 can receive the reflected light and transmit it to the spectrometer 1, so that the spectrometer 1 can convert the light signal into spectral data, and transmit the spectral data to the lower computer 2, so that the lower computer 2 can complete the thickness calculation according to the measurement data to measure the thickness of the thin film.
[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
