[0036] As mentioned above, the current methods for determining the hydrogen content in the thin film material after the dehydrogenation process mainly include experimental methods such as infrared transmission spectroscopy, nuclear spectrum reaction analysis technology, particle scattering, secondary ion mass spectrometry, etc., which are used to preliminarily estimate the hydrogen content in the thin film material. However, the above experimental methods still have challenges in terms of accuracy, repeatability and irreversibility. Therefore, since there is no effective theoretical method for evaluating the hydrogen content and hydrogen distribution in the thin film material, it is impossible to accurately determine the hydrogen content and hydrogen distribution in the thin film material, resulting in the current inability to use theoretical methods to guide the process parameters of the dehydrogenation process in order to find the best combination of process parameters, thereby improving the dehydrogenation effect of the dehydrogenation process.

[0039] The working principle of the above-mentioned device for determining film parameters will be described below in conjunction with some embodiments of the method for determining film parameters. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments of these methods for determining film parameters are only some non-limiting implementation methods provided by the present invention, which are intended to clearly demonstrate the main concept of the present invention and provide some specific solutions that are convenient for the public to implement, rather than to limit all functions or all working modes of the device for determining film parameters. Similarly, the device for determining film parameters is also only a non-limiting implementation method provided by the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation on the execution subject or execution order of each step in these methods for determining film parameters.

[0040] Please refer to the reference for details Figure 1 . Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for determining film parameters according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the processor may first obtain multiple process parameters of the dehydrogenation process, wherein the multiple process parameters at least include process temperature, plasma power and process time.

[0042] Afterwards, the processor can input various process parameters into a pre-established hydrogen content model to jointly determine the hydrogen distribution and the total amount of hydrogen in the film through the hydrogen atom activation and diffusion unit, the hydrogen atom and defect interaction unit, and the hydrogen atom recombination and desorption unit of the hydrogen content model.

[0043] Here, the hydrogen distribution is the vector of the volume density of hydrogen atoms in the film with respect to the depth. The total amount of hydrogen is the integral of the volume density of hydrogen atoms in the film with respect to the depth.

[0044] Specifically, the above hydrogen atom activation diffusion unit characterizes the partial derivative of the volume density of hydrogen atoms with respect to time, which is expressed as:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, C H is the volume density of hydrogen atoms in the form of gaps, D is the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atoms in the film, a0 is the minimum unit cell size in the film, is the intrinsic defect density of hydrogen trapped in the film, C t is the remaining unoccupied defect density in the film, C b is the vacancy defect density in the film, E Hdtrap is the ability of defects to capture hydrogen atoms, k b is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the processing temperature.

[0047] In addition, the above interaction unit between hydrogen atoms and defects characterizes the partial derivative of the residual defect density of unoccupied hydrogen atoms with respect to time, which is expressed as:

[0048]

[0049] Among them, C H is the volume density of hydrogen atoms in the form of gaps, D is the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atoms in the film, a0 is the minimum unit cell size in the film, is the intrinsic defect density of hydrogen trapped in the film, C t is the remaining unoccupied defect density in the film, C b is the vacancy defect density in the film, E Hdtrap is the ability of defects to capture hydrogen atoms, k b is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the processing temperature.

[0050] In addition, the partial derivative of the total amount of hydrogen at the depth of the above hydrogen atom recombination and desorption unit with respect to time is expressed as:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, C H|O is the density of hydrogen atoms in the surface layer of the film. L0 is the unit depth of the surface layer, such as the thickness of an atomic layer in the film. D is the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atoms in the film. H is the volume density of hydrogen atoms existing in interstitial form. K H is the release rate of hydrogen atoms on the film surface.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the release rate of hydrogen atoms on the film surface is K H is represented as:

[0054]

[0055] Among them, K r is the number of hydrogen atoms that recombine on the surface, K c is the dissociation rate.

[0056] Furthermore, in the process of determining the total amount of hydrogen in the film via the above hydrogen content model, the processor may first integrate the volume density of hydrogen atoms trapped by the defects with respect to the depth to determine the total amount of hydrogen atoms trapped by the defects N during the processing time. tH :

[0057]

[0058] Among them, C tH is the volume density of hydrogen atoms trapped by defects, and t is the processing time.

[0059] The processor can then integrate the volume density of hydrogen atoms in the interstitial form with respect to depth and calculate the total trapped amount N according to tH , to determine the total amount of hydrogen N in the film material H :

[0060]

[0061] Among them, C H is the volume density of hydrogen atoms existing in the form of interstitials.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 . Figure 2 A graph showing the variation of hydrogen content with depth under multiple processing temperature conditions provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 A bar graph showing the relationship between the total amount of hydrogen, time and temperature provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0063] In addition, in some preferred embodiments, after determining the hydrogen distribution and the total amount of hydrogen in the film, the processor may also determine one of the processing temperature, processing time and plasma power as the process parameter to be measured, and determine the other two of the processing temperature, processing time and plasma power as the preset process parameters. Afterwards, the processor may adjust the process parameter to be measured within the preset parameter adjustment range, and by observing the change trend of the hydrogen distribution and the total amount of hydrogen obtained after inputting each process parameter to be measured, determine the influence of the process parameter to be measured on the effect of the dehydrogenation process, so as to determine the optimal parameter combination for the dehydrogenation process.

[0064] Further, in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the processor may determine the processing temperature as the process parameter to be measured, and may determine the processing time and the plasma power as the preset process parameters.

[0065] Specifically, the simulation temperature range is 300K to 3000K, and the processor can input the temperature values ​​to be measured in this simulation temperature range, as well as the preset processing time and plasma power into the above hydrogen content model to determine the hydrogen distribution and total amount of hydrogen in the film. Here, the hydrogen content model can comprehensively consider that the activated hydrogen atoms exist in various forms in the material, including interstitial hydrogen atoms and defective hydrogen clusters.

[0066] Afterwards, the processor can obtain the hydrogen distribution and total hydrogen amount results obtained by inputting each temperature value to be measured, and obtain the influence of the process parameter of the treatment temperature on the effect of the dehydrogenation treatment process. Figure 3 As shown, under low temperature conditions, the hydrogen diffusion rate is low, resulting in the formation of clusters, while at higher temperatures, hydrogen tends to exist in the form of single interstitial hydrogen atoms and is easy to compound into hydrogen molecules on the surface of the material and then overflow. In this way, the present invention can increase the treatment temperature of the dehydrogenation treatment process within a certain temperature range based on the above theoretical results to optimize the thermal treatment process of the thin film material, thereby reducing hydrogen retention and improving material performance.

[0067] In addition, Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the processor may determine the processing time as the process parameter to be measured, and may determine the processing temperature and the plasma power as the preset process parameters.

[0068] Specifically, the simulation time range is 0s to 10000s, and the processor can input each time value to be measured in this simulation time interval, as well as the preset processing temperature and plasma power into the above hydrogen content model to determine the hydrogen distribution and total amount of hydrogen in the film.

[0069] Afterwards, the processor can obtain the effect of the process parameter of the processing time on the effect of the dehydrogenation process according to the hydrogen distribution and the total amount of hydrogen obtained by inputting each time value to be measured. Figure 3 As shown, as the post-treatment time increases, hydrogen tends to be unevenly distributed in the material. Longer post-treatment time may cause defects to capture hydrogen to form clusters, while the proportion of interstitial hydrogen atoms decreases. In this way, the present invention can appropriately shorten the treatment time of the dehydrogenation treatment process within a certain time range based on the above theoretical results to optimize the strategy of the dehydrogenation treatment process, thereby reducing hydrogen retention in the material and improving the stability of the material.

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the processor may determine the plasma power as the process parameter to be measured, and determine the processing temperature and the processing time as the preset process parameters.

[0071] Specifically, the simulated plasma power range is 0W to 5kW, and the processor can input each plasma power value to be measured in this simulated plasma power range, as well as the preset processing temperature and processing time into the above hydrogen content model to determine the hydrogen distribution and total hydrogen amount in the film.

[0072] Afterwards, the processor can obtain the hydrogen distribution and total hydrogen amount results obtained by inputting each plasma power value to be measured, and derive the influence of the process parameter of plasma power on the effect of the dehydrogenation process. Specifically, as the plasma power increases, the ion density and energy increase accordingly, resulting in an increase in the degree of hydrogen activation near the surface of the film. At this time, more hydrogen will exist in the form of interstitial atoms, increasing the diffusion rate of hydrogen near the surface of the material. In this way, the present invention can appropriately increase the plasma power of the dehydrogenation process within a certain plasma power range based on the above theoretical results to optimize the strategy of the dehydrogenation process, thereby reducing hydrogen retention in the material and improving the stability of the material.

[0073] In summary, the above-mentioned film parameter determination method, film parameter determination device and computer-readable storage medium provided by the present invention can be used to accurately determine the hydrogen distribution and total hydrogen amount in the film by inputting multiple process parameters of the dehydrogenation treatment process into a pre-established hydrogen content model, and can be used to provide theoretical guidance for the optimization of process parameters of the dehydrogenation treatment process.
