Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of interferometers, and in particular to an X-ray interferometer for a picometer-level displacement stage and a displacement measurement method. Background Art
[0002] Laser interferometers are used for displacement measurement and are widely used in precision machinery, semiconductor manufacturing and other fields. Although optical interferometers are widely used in the field of measurement, their nonlinear characteristics are a significant disadvantage. Therefore, one of the focuses of laser interferometer research is how to evaluate and reduce the impact of nonlinear effects on measurement results. The measurement uncertainty of new optical interferometer equipment currently reaches tens of picometers. X-ray interferometers are known for their atomic-level resolution, which has unique advantages over other nanometer-resolution sensors such as optical interferometers and atomic force microscopes. The wavelength of X-rays is at the sub-nanometer level, and the zone-melted single-crystal silicon used to make interferometers has a very regular and stable atomic arrangement, which makes it an ideal picometer-level length unit.
[0003] The current X-ray interferometers are composed of a single X-ray source, a set of chips (from left to right: beam splitter, reflector and analyzer), and a radiation detector, and can only measure one-dimensional motion. There is currently no X-ray interferometer that can measure the displacement of the XY two-dimensional degree of freedom. If you want to measure two-dimensional motion at the same time, such as measuring the two-dimensional movement of the probe relative to the sample under test in a scanning probe microscope, the conventional practice is to build two interferometers to measure the displacement in the X and Y directions respectively. For X-ray interferometers, two light sources are required, the structure is very complex and large, and the radiation risk of the rays is relatively high. The installation of the two interferometers and the adjustment of the ray angles are also relatively difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an interferometer with a simple structure that can simultaneously measure two-dimensional motion with picometer-level accuracy using only one X-ray source.

Figure 2 As shown, the first transmitted light and the first reflected light are formed by transmission and reflection through the analyzer 8; the other beam is reflected and transmitted by the second beam splitter 3, and the light reflected by the second beam splitter 3 reaches the analyzer 8, as shown Figure 2As shown, the second transmitted light and the second reflected light are formed by transmission and reflection of the analyzer 8, the second transmitted light and the first reflected light are emitted through the first outgoing light path of the analyzer 8 to generate interference fringes, the first transmitted light and the second reflected light are emitted through the second outgoing light path of the analyzer 8 to generate interference fringes, and the first transmitted light and the second reflected light are emitted through the second outgoing light path of the analyzer 8 to generate interference fringes, which are detected by the first detector 10 and the second detector 12.

Figure 3 As shown, after being transmitted and reflected by the third beam splitter 4, a third transmitted light and a third reflected light are formed.

When the moving part of the picometer stage 14 moves along the Y direction, the third detector 11 detects the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the first outgoing light path of the third beam splitter 4 during the movement, and the fourth detector 13 detects the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the second outgoing light path of the third beam splitter 4 during the movement, and the processor obtains the displacement of the picometer stage 14 along the Y direction based on this.
[0046] The interferometer provided in the present application utilizes two sets of mutually perpendicular crystal planes on the first beam splitter 2 to form diffraction, and divides a beam of light emitted by a light source into two beams along mutually perpendicular directions, which respectively form an interferometer with two sets of crystal planes (the first set of crystal planes includes the first reflector 5, the analyzer 8 and the second beam splitter 3. The second set of crystal planes includes the second beam splitter 3, the second reflector 6, the third beam splitter 4 and the third reflector 7). The two sets of interferometers are in perpendicular directions to achieve displacement measurement in the XY dimensions, and the structure is simple, and only one light source is used to achieve simultaneous measurement of two-dimensional motion.
[0047] An embodiment of the present application also provides a displacement measurement method applied to the above-mentioned X-ray interferometer for the picometer-level translation stage, the displacement measurement method comprising: obtaining the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer-level translation stage moves and the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the third spectrometer.
[0048] The displacement of the picometer stage in the X direction is obtained according to the intensity of the interference fringes generated in the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves.
[0049] The displacement of the picometer-level translation stage in the Y direction is obtained according to the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer-level translation stage moves.
[0050] X-ray interferometry is a method that uses the Laue diffraction phenomenon of X-rays in single crystal silicon to achieve micro-displacement measurement. When a beam of monochromatic X-rays is incident on single crystal silicon at the Bragg angle, three beams of light are formed: direct transmitted light, diffracted light, and anomalous transmitted light. Among them, the diffracted light and the anomalous transmitted light will be reflected by the reflector and eventually meet at the analyzer to form interference fringes. The contrast of the interference fringes is affected by many factors, including the thickness of the beam splitter, reflector, and analyzer, as well as the defocus amount and sideslip angle caused by the movement of the translation stage. The working principle of the X-ray interferometer requires that when the analyzer moves in a direction perpendicular to the diffraction crystal plane, the interference fringes formed by the analyzer will change by one period for each lattice spacing. By calculating the number of periods of the interference fringes generated after the movement and multiplying it by the corresponding lattice spacing, the displacement of the picometer stage can be obtained. Therefore, the displacement of the picometer stage in the X direction is obtained according to the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves. Specifically, the period of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves is calculated according to the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves. The displacement of the picometer stage in the X direction is obtained by calculating the product of the period of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves and the lattice spacing of the analyzer. Similarly, the displacement of the picometer-level translation stage in the Y direction is obtained according to the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the output light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer-level translation stage moves. Specifically, the period of the interference fringes generated by the output light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer-level translation stage moves is calculated according to the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the output light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer-level translation stage moves; the displacement of the picometer-level translation stage in the Y direction is obtained by calculating the product of the period of the interference fringes generated by the output light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer-level translation stage moves and the lattice spacing of the third beam splitter.
[0051] The period of the above interference fringes is calculated according to the formula θ / 360, wherein, when calculating the period of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves along the X direction, θ represents the phase angle of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the analyzer after the moving part of the picometer stage moves, θ=atan(D1 / D2), D1 represents the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the first outgoing light path of the analyzer detected by the first detector, and D2 represents the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the second outgoing light path of the analyzer detected by the second detector. When calculating the period of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer stage moves along the Y direction, in the above formula, θ represents the phase angle of the interference fringes generated by the outgoing light path of the third beam splitter after the moving part of the picometer stage moves, D1 represents the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the first outgoing light path of the third beam splitter detected by the third detector, and D2 represents the intensity of the interference fringes generated by the second outgoing light path of the third beam splitter detected by the fourth detector.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting this application.
