Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of thermal property characterization of micro-nano scale materials, and in particular relates to a thermal property characterization method for a non-flat surface based on a scanning thermal microscope. Background Art
[0002] In the context of the rapid development of science and technology, research at the micro-nano scale has become the key to achieving breakthroughs in many cutting-edge fields. As materials science moves towards higher precision and complexity, new nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube composites continue to emerge, in which microscopic thermal conductivity properties play a vital role in macroscopic application performance. In the field of electronic devices, with the miniaturization of devices and the increase in high-performance requirements, the heat dissipation problem has become increasingly severe, especially the heat accumulation and dissipation mechanism in tiny areas inside the chip, which has become a core element to ensure the stable operation of the device. In nano-processing technology, due to the continuous improvement of processing accuracy, the precise control of thermal changes during the processing process is becoming more and more important, and small temperature differences may have a significant impact on the quality of the final product.
[0003] Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) came into being and became a core tool for micro-nanoscale heat transfer research and local thermal performance characterization, and is widely used in various key fields. In materials science, SThM can deeply reveal the heat conduction path at the atomic level and provide guidance for the optimization of material microstructure to meet specific thermal performance requirements; in thermal management of electronic devices, SThM can accurately locate high heat density areas and provide an important basis for the design and optimization of heat dissipation systems; in the nano-processing process, SThM can monitor thermal fluctuations in real time and assist in calibrating processing parameters to ensure accurate engraving of nanostructures. As a highly sensitive comprehensive characterization tool that integrates multiple signals such as heat, force, and electricity, SThM has become an important means in the field of nano-heat conduction research with its excellent spatial resolution and sensitivity.
[0004] However, when SThM is used for thermal performance characterization, the accuracy and reliability of the test results face challenges. One of the key issues is the influence of the sample surface morphology on the thermal signal. According to the SThM test principle, the morphology signal and the thermal signal are obtained by two separate loops, and theoretically there should be no "artifact" phenomenon. However, after a deep understanding of the core mechanism of the SThM test, it is not difficult to find that the total heat input from the thermal probe tip to the sample is the sum of the heat dissipation at the tip / sample interface and the heat transferred to the inside of the sample. The contact interface of the tip / sample can be regarded as the thermal resistance connecting the tip and the sample. Only by eliminating the influence of the contact thermal resistance can the thermal feedback signal reflect the actual thermal performance of the sample. The contact thermal resistance is related to the actual contact area of the tip / sample. The fluctuation of the sample surface morphology will cause the actual contact area between the probe and the sample to change, and then the contact thermal resistance at the interface will change, and the heat flowing into the sample will also change, which will produce the "artifact" phenomenon related to the morphology. How to suppress or eliminate this morphological "artifact" phenomenon is a key issue that needs to be solved urgently.
[0005] Although existing technologies attempt to reduce morphological "artifact" phenomena by optimizing probe structures or adjusting test parameters, they fail to provide a systematic and quantitative suppression strategy, resulting in large deviations in test results. Summary of the invention

[0043] The specific embodiment of the present invention aims to provide a method for suppressing the morphology "artifact" effect and characterizing thermal performance based on a scanning thermal microscope. By combining step height control with probe applied voltage optimization, a quantitative relationship model between probe temperature difference and morphology height is established to achieve high-precision thermal performance testing of complex morphology samples. The technical methods proposed by the present invention include the following:
[0044] (1) Sample preparation of vertical step structure:
[0045] A specific embodiment of the present invention uses a commercial single-sided polished silicon wafer without an oxide layer as a substrate. Since the roughness of the silicon wafer substrate is relatively low, generally less than 10 nm, and the morphology below 10 nm has little effect on the probe temperature difference, the surface of the commercial silicon wafer can be used as a benchmark to explore the step height, that is, the effect of the morphology height on the probe temperature difference. A femtosecond laser is used to obtain a polished silicon wafer of a fixed size, and a rectangular pattern is first obtained by electron beam exposure. Argon ion beam etching is used to etch the microstructure, and the depth of the micro-nano structure is controlled by controlling the etching time to obtain micro-nano structures with different vertical step heights.
[0046] (2) Optimize the probe applied voltage:
[0047] A scanning thermal microscope is used to apply different voltage loads to each height step through a nanothermal probe to obtain the corresponding probe temperature difference, and the corresponding usage voltage load range is obtained when the detection temperature difference influence value corresponding to each height step is less than the detection temperature difference influence value threshold. The voltage loads that fall within the different usage voltage load ranges are taken as the first usage voltage load.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, when the height of the step is 0nm to 10nm, the voltage load range is 50mV to 200mV; when the height of the step is 10nm to 20nm, the voltage load range is 50mV to 120mV; when the height of the step is 20nm to 35nm, the voltage load range is 50mV to 80mV; when the height of the step is 35nm to 55nm, the voltage load range is 50mV to 60mV. It can be seen that when the height of the step is low, the voltage load range is very wide, and the higher the height of the step, the narrower the voltage load range. Therefore, in the actual scanning process, different voltages can be used based on the voltage load range according to different morphological heights, thereby avoiding large errors in heat detection due to excessive voltage load.
[0049] (3) A relationship model between the step height and the probe temperature difference is obtained, and an upper limit value of the step height is obtained through the relationship model between the step height and the probe temperature difference based on a set minimum temperature resolution value.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, the relationship model between the step height and the probe temperature difference provided in the specific embodiment of the present invention includes a no-influence zone, a transition zone and a significant influence zone; in the no-influence zone, the probe temperature difference is 0K as the step height changes, that is, the step height has no effect on the probe temperature difference; in the transition zone, the probe temperature difference is below 0.002K as the step height changes, and in the transition zone, the linear relationship between the step height and the probe temperature difference is weak; in the significant influence zone, the step height and the probe temperature difference are linearly related, and the upper limit value of the step height is obtained through the linear relationship based on the set minimum temperature resolution value.
[0051] (4) If the maximum value of the morphology height of the sample to be tested is higher than the upper limit value of the step height, the morphology height of the sample to be tested is lowered; if the maximum value of the morphology height of the sample to be tested is lower than the upper limit value of the step height, based on the different morphology heights of the sample to be tested, a corresponding second working voltage load is selected from the corresponding working voltage load range to perform scanning thermal microscope scanning.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] This embodiment provides a method for characterizing thermal properties of a non-flat surface based on a scanning thermal microscope, comprising:
[0054] (1) Sample preparation of vertical step structure:
[0055] 1) Choose commercial single-sided polished silicon without oxide layer, whose surface roughness is less than 1nm, which can effectively eliminate the influence of the roughness of the sample itself on the thermal test results.
[0056] 2) A femtosecond laser was used to cut a silicon wafer into a size of 1 cm×1 cm, and the wafer was ultrasonically cleaned for 10 min using acetone, alcohol, and deionized water, respectively, and then dried using high-pressure nitrogen.
[0057] 3) A rectangular pattern was obtained using electron beam exposure technology, and the step height was controlled by argon ion beam etching. After argon ion beam etching for 10s, 20s, 40s, 60s, 80s, 100s, and 120s, step structures with heights of 2.30nm, 5.90nm, 11.50nm, 24.70nm, 32.60nm, 39nm, and 45.40nm were obtained, respectively.
[0058] 4) Before the electron beam exposure patterning and before and after the ion beam etching, the Si substrate surface needs to be cleaned for 15 minutes using 400W O2 plasma to ensure the patterning accuracy and complete removal of the electron beam exposure glue, so as to reduce the temperature contribution of the tiny protruding structures on the plane to the entire plane. Figure 1 From the AFM morphology characterization images of (a1)-(g1), it can be found that the surface after ion beam etching is relatively flat and clean, without obvious large protrusions, which also provides a certain guarantee and premise for the accuracy of the quantitative analysis results.
[0059] (2) Establish a relationship model between topography height and probe temperature difference.
[0060] 1) Measure the relationship between the probe temperature difference and the probe height, and obtain the linear change data in the positive correlation area. Set the test parameters: scanning rate 0.3Hz, scanning range 5μm×5μm, scanning pixel points 256×256, and the first use voltage load applied by the thermal probe is 60mV. By scanning the steps of different heights, a two-dimensional colored map of the morphology height and the probe temperature difference is obtained at the same time ( Figure 1 (a1)-(g1), Figure 1 (a2)-(g2)); by performing zero baseline "Flatten" processing on the upper or lower surface of the step in the AFM morphology image and the SThM thermal imaging image, a profile line scan comparison of the morphology height and the probe temperature difference was obtained ( Figure 1 (a3)-(g3)); Figure 2 The relationship between etching time and etching depth is shown in Figure 2. As the etching time increases, the etching depth decreases at a rate of 0.40 nm s -1The rate increases linearly, indicating that the Ar ion beam etching technology can achieve controllable step height, rapid and low surface roughness preparation.
[0061] 2) According to the linear relationship between the probe temperature difference and the topography height, the positive correlation region is linearly extended to predict the critical step height under the temperature resolution limit (less than 0.01 K). Figure 3 The relationship between the probe temperature difference and the step height is shown in Figure 2. When the step height is between 20nm and 50nm or higher than 50nm, the probe temperature difference and the step height show a linear positive correlation, with a value of 2.15×10 -4 K nm -1 The correlation of the fitting curves reaches 0.99, which shows a more obvious morphological "artifact" phenomenon; when the step height is between 10nm and 20nm, the linear correlation between the two weakens, showing a transition zone with morphological "artifact"; when the step height is lower than 10nm, the probe temperature difference is almost no longer affected by the change of step height, and the probe temperature difference changes to 0K, which shows no "artifact" thermal phenomenon. Based on the model prediction, the maximum step height for which the calculated morphological artifact does not affect the probe temperature measurement beyond the resolution (0.01K) is 63nm, that is, the upper limit of the step height is 63nm.
[0062] (3) Optimize the probe applied voltage load to obtain the first use voltage load:
[0063] 1) Within the current saturation value (2.16 mA) of the nanothermal probe, set 8 probe applied load test values from 50 mV to 120 mV with an increment of 10 mV, use the method of step (1) to obtain the step height structure, and perform a scanning thermal test. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The characterization results are respectively for step heights (etching time) of 45.40nm (120s), 39nm (100s), 32.60nm (80s) and 11.50nm (40s). In this set of figures, (a) are all AFM morphology images of the 5μm scanning range at the step. In this set of figures, (b) are all SThM thermal signals, i.e., probe temperature measurement results under different probe applied loads at the corresponding morphological positions. The specific test method is that when the thermal probe performs a thermal scan from bottom to top, the interval is equally divided according to the total scanning distance, so as to increase the applied load of the probe, and all SThM thermal signal information of the probe applied load varying from 50mV to 120mV can be obtained in a square two-dimensional thermal map in the range of 5μm×5μm.
[0064] 2) Figure 8(a)-(d) are the relationship between the applied load and the probe temperature difference under different step heights. When the step height is 45.40nm, the probe temperature difference shows an almost linear increasing trend in the part of the probe applied load exceeding 60mV; when the step height is 39nm, the probe temperature difference shows a platform-like slowly increasing trend; when the step height is reduced to 32.60nm, the probe temperature difference shows a step-by-step jump change area. Under the applied load below 80mV, the probe temperature difference hardly changes. When the applied load is further increased, the probe temperature difference suddenly increases and slowly increases; when the step height is reduced to 11.50nm, the probe temperature difference hardly changes with the applied load and is basically stable at 10 -3 About K.
[0065] 3) According to the experimental test results, the optimization principle of "the probe voltage applied is as small as possible and can generate obvious thermal signals" is proposed to minimize the interference of additional thermal effects. In this embodiment, 60mV is selected as the first voltage load.
[0066] (4) If the maximum value of the morphology height of the sample to be tested is higher than the upper limit value of the step height, the morphology height of the sample to be tested is lowered; if the maximum value of the morphology height of the sample to be tested is lower than the upper limit value of the step height, based on the different morphology heights of the sample to be tested, a corresponding second working voltage load is selected from the corresponding working voltage load range to perform scanning thermal microscope scanning.
[0067] The specific embodiment of the present invention systematically studies the relationship between the probe temperature difference and the step height, proposes a quantitative model for the influence of morphology artifacts on the SThM thermal performance measurement, and for the first time clarifies the critical step height (63nm) under the limitation of the probe temperature resolution (0.01K), providing a theoretical basis for optimizing the test accuracy and application scope of SThM.
[0068] The specific embodiment of the present invention clarifies the operating principle of "applying voltage as small as possible and being able to generate obvious thermal signals" by optimizing the method of applying voltage to the probe, thereby reducing additional effects and ensuring the authenticity of thermal performance characterization results.
[0069] The method for characterizing thermal properties of non-flat surfaces based on a scanning thermal microscope provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention is suitable for samples with complex surface morphology or without flattening treatment, which expands the application scenarios of SThM.
[0070] The present invention aims at the difficulties in characterizing the morphology "artifact" effect and complex morphology samples in the prior art, and provides an optimization technical method based on the relationship between the morphology height, the probe applied voltage and the thermal signal, so as to achieve effective suppression of the morphology "artifact" effect and high-precision thermal performance characterization. The technical effects that can be achieved are as follows: 1. Through the study of the staged influence of the step height, the positive correlation between the probe temperature difference and the morphology height is proposed, and the applicable range of the transition zone and the positive correlation zone is set, which ensures the reliability of the SThM technology at different surface heights; 2. By using the quantitative relationship between the step height and the probe temperature signal, the critical conditions for the generation of "artifacts" can be accurately identified on different morphology surfaces to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the SThM signal; 3. In view of the additional influence of the probe applied voltage on the morphology "artifact", the present invention proposes the principle of using the smallest possible applied voltage as the optimal test condition. This optimization strategy can effectively reduce the additional effect of voltage and improve the reliability of thermal signal characterization.
