[0059] To make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0060] The present disclosure provides a method for correcting the angle of an electron beam image. Figure 1 The flowchart of the electron beam image angle correction method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0061] Step 101: Place the sample to be tested on a motion platform.
[0062] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the electron beam image of the sample to be tested. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the XY coordinate system is the motion coordinate system of the motion platform. The X-axis and Y-axis of the motion coordinate system are parallel to the two adjacent rectangular sides of the electron beam image, respectively, and the origin coincides with the center of the electron beam image. The X'Y' coordinate system is the user coordinate system. The sample to be tested includes a plurality of grids arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The X-axis of the user coordinate system is parallel to the first direction, the Y-axis is parallel to the second direction, and the origin coincides with the center of the sample to be tested. The user coordinate system is also the coordinate system that is ultimately desired to be transformed. It can be seen from observation that there is an angular deviation between the motion coordinate system and the user coordinate system, which needs to be corrected.
[0063] Step 102: Acquire a first electron beam image of the sample to be tested at the current position.
[0064] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the relative position of the sample before and after it is moved. It should be explained that for the convenience of understanding, Figure 3 The position of the sample to be measured in the electron beam image before and after the movement is integrated into a schematic diagram.
[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, before the sample 10 to be tested moves (ie, the current position), the center point is located at O1.
[0066] Step 103 : determining a motion coordinate system, wherein the X axis and the Y axis of the motion coordinate system are parallel to two adjacent rectangular sides of the electron beam image, respectively, and the origin coincides with the center of the electron beam image.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the XY coordinate system in the figure is the motion coordinate system.
[0068] Step 104 : Move the sample to be tested by a preset distance along the X-axis direction of the motion coordinate system to obtain a second electron beam image of the sample to be tested.
[0069] Specifically, for example, the software sends instructions to control the motion platform to move in the negative direction of the X-axis of the motion coordinate system, driving the sample to be tested to move in the negative direction of the X-axis, so that the electron beam image moves in the positive direction of the X-axis, and captures the electron beam image after the movement is completed.
[0070] In another embodiment, the motion platform may be controlled to move toward the positive direction of the X-axis, so that the electron beam image moves toward the negative direction of the X-axis.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the example of moving the sample to be tested in the negative direction of the X axis is used for explanation. Figure 3 As shown, the center point of the sample 10 to be tested is located at O2 after the movement.
[0072] Step 105 : Perform Fourier transform on the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image to determine an offset between the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image.
[0073] In one embodiment, performing Fourier transform on the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image to determine the offset between the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image includes:
[0074] The first electron beam image and the second electron beam image are Fourier transformed using the following formula (1) to obtain the frequency domain images of the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image:
[0075]
[0076] Wherein, F1(u,v) represents the frequency domain graph of the first electron beam image, F2(u,v) represents the frequency domain graph of the second electron beam image, u and v are variables in the frequency domain graph, and (x0,y0) represents the offset between the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image;
[0077] According to the frequency domain images of the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image, the pulse function of the offset is obtained by the following formula (2):
[0078]
[0079] Where H(u,v) represents the cross power spectrum, A1 and A2 represent the amplitudes of F1 and F2 respectively, and δ(x0,y0) represents the impulse function. a pulse function representing the offset;
[0080] When the value of the impulse function is maximum, the offset is determined.
[0081] Specifically, let f1(x, y) and f2(x, y) be the two electron beam images taken before and after the sample is moved, namely the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image. x and y represent the pixel coordinate values in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, respectively, which can be any pixel coordinate values within the image range. The translation relationship satisfies formula (4). The offset is set to (x0, y0), as follows: Figure 3 As shown, x0 is the offset along the X-axis direction of the user coordinate system, and y0 is the offset along the Y-axis direction of the user coordinate system. It needs to be explained that Figure 3 The user coordinate system is not shown in the Figure 2 , you can set the horizontal direction to the X-axis direction of the user coordinate system, and the vertical direction to the Y-axis direction of the user coordinate system.
[0082] f2(x,y)=f1(x+x0,y+y0) (4)
[0083] Next, the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image are Fourier transformed and converted into the frequency domain to obtain the above formula (1):
[0084]
[0085] Dividing both sides of formula (1) by F1(u,v) yields the cross-power spectrum, as shown in formula (2):
[0086]
[0087] in, That is the pulse function of the offset (x0, y0).
[0088] According to the properties of the impulse function: δ(x0,y0) is the largest at x0 and y0. By traversing all the coordinate points in the image, we can determine the x0 and y0 where the impulse function has the largest value, and thus determine the offset.
[0089] Step 106 : determining an angular deviation value between the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image according to the offset.
[0090] In one embodiment, determining the angular deviation between the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image according to the offset includes:
[0091] The offset is converted into an angular deviation value by the inverse tangent function, where the inverse tangent function is shown in the following formula (3):
[0092] θ=arctan (y 0 / x0) (3)
[0093] Where θ is the angle deviation value.
[0094] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the angle deviation value θ is the angle between the moving direction of the sample 10 to be tested and the X-axis of the user coordinate system.
[0095] Step 107: performing angle correction on the electron beam image according to the angle deviation value.
[0096] In one embodiment, performing angle correction on the electron beam image according to the angle deviation value includes:
[0097] The angle deviation value is input into the deflector to perform angle correction on the electron beam image.
[0098] It should be explained that the deflector hardware is generally set to an angle of 0-90 degrees to achieve the rotation of the electron beam image between 0 and 90 degrees. If the angle deviation value exceeds 90 degrees, the part exceeding 90 degrees can be achieved through image software post-processing. For example, for a deflection angle of 100 degrees, the deflector is set to a parameter of 10 degrees, and the obtained image is rotated another 90 degrees to finally achieve image rotation.
[0099] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by first obtaining a first electron beam image of the sample to be tested at the current position and a second electron beam image after moving a preset distance along the X-axis direction of the motion coordinate system, and then performing Fourier transform on the first electron beam image and the second electron beam image, the offset between the two images is obtained, and then the angle deviation value is obtained, so as to perform angle correction on the electron beam image. The present disclosure follows the principle of high efficiency, and the overall process is simple and does not require a large amount of computing resources, ensuring that efficient data processing is achieved without affecting the smoothness of the overall operation process of the system; the present disclosure abandons the traditional manual adjustment method, which not only greatly simplifies the operation steps and reduces the complexity of the operation, but also ensures that the observation results of the electron beam image directly reflect the observer's expectations by accurately calculating and automatically adjusting the relevant parameters, thereby improving the accuracy of the correction, thereby bringing higher observation accuracy and reliability to the overall observation system, making the observation experience more in line with the observer's intuitive feelings.
