[0024] Example 1, reference Figures 1 to 4 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a high-precision nondestructive detection method for ion implantation defects, comprising the following steps: S1, select the measurement light source to collect the reflected light intensity data, use the Stokes vector to represent the intensity distribution of polarized light, calculate the ellipsometric parameters and determine the refraction angle data, calculate the complex refractive index through the Fresnel formula and determine the refractive index and extinction coefficient, and analyze the overall complex dielectric constant of the material; Preferably, selecting a measurement light source to collect reflected light intensity data refers to selecting a supercontinuum laser source (Supercontinuum Laser) as the measurement light source, wherein the spectral range is 190nm-1200nm, a femtosecond pulse light source (<100 fs) is used, and a polarization modulator is used to generate incident light of a specific polarization state, allowing the incident light to pass through an adjustable polarizer to adjust the polarization direction, and a high-sensitivity photodetector is used to collect reflected light intensity data.

[0025] By using a supercontinuum laser source as the measurement light source, compared with the traditional single-wavelength laser source, the optical response of the material at multiple wavelengths can be obtained simultaneously, thereby improving the spectral resolution of defect detection. The use of a femtosecond pulse light source can reduce time resolution errors, reduce the impact of surface roughness and ambient light on measurement, improve the temporal and spatial resolution of the signal, and ensure more accurate measurement of ion implantation defects. By using a polarization modulator to generate incident light in a specific polarization state and adjusting the polarization direction with an adjustable polarizer, the response information of the material to different polarization directions can be fully obtained. By using a high-sensitivity photodetector to collect reflected light intensity data, it can ensure that the material reflection characteristics can still be accurately measured in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment, improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the data, and enhance measurement stability.

[0026] Furthermore, the overall complex dielectric constant of the material is analyzed, including: Ion implantation defect detection is performed based on spectral ellipsometry. The intensity of reflected light polarized in parallel p and perpendicular s directions is measured respectively. The circularly polarized light is converted into linearly polarized light by placing a quarter-wave plate QWP in the path of the reflected beam. The polarizer is adjusted in turn to allow right-handed circularly polarized light and left-handed circularly polarized light to pass through. The intensity of reflected light after right-handed and left-handed circularly polarized light is measured. By placing a wavelength modulating wave plate in the beam path, polarized light at 45° and 135° is selected in turn through an adjustable polarizer, and the reflected light intensity after the 45° and 135° polarizers is collected; The intensity distribution of polarized light is represented by the Stokes vector: ; ; ; ; in represents the total light intensity, represents the linear polarization degree from zero to ninety degrees, Represents the linear polarization degree from 45 to 135 degrees, represents the degree of circular polarization, and They represent the intensity of the reflected light polarized in the parallel (p) and perpendicular (s) directions in the reflected light, and They represent the components with polarization directions of four or five degrees and one hundred and thirty-five degrees respectively. and represent the intensity of right-hand circular polarization and left-hand circular polarization respectively; And calculate the amplitude ratio and phase difference of the ellipsometric parameters, expressed as: ; ; in represents the amplitude ratio, Indicates phase difference; The reflection coefficient is determined and the refraction angle data is determined by Snell's law, and the complex refractive index is calculated by the Fresnel formula and the refractive index and extinction coefficient are determined, which is expressed as: ; ; ; ; in and They represent the reflection coefficients in the parallel (p) and vertical (s) directions of the reflected light, respectively, and i represents the imaginary unit, which can be expressed as , represents the angle of incidence, is the refraction angle, which is determined by Snell's law and can be expressed as , represents the refractive index of the incident medium, i.e., air, represents the complex refractive index of the material, n represents the effective refractive index, and k represents the extinction coefficient, which can be expressed by the formula Determine, among which represents the intensity of light propagating to depth x in the material, represents the incident light intensity, Indicates the wavelength of light; According to the refractive index and extinction coefficient, the material's response to the electric field and the material's ability to absorb light are analyzed and calculated, and the overall complex dielectric constant is calculated, which is expressed as: ; ; ; in represents the material's response to the electric field, Indicates the light absorption capacity of a material. represents the overall complex permittivity.

[0027] Ion implantation defect detection through spectral ellipsometry can improve the sensitivity and resolution of defect detection, and can accurately analyze the optical properties of materials without damaging the sample. By measuring the intensity of reflected light polarized in parallel (p) and perpendicular (s) directions respectively, the response of the material to light in different polarization directions can be fully captured, thereby enhancing the detection ability of material anisotropy and microstructural changes. During the adjustment process of the quarter wave plate (QWP) and the polarizer, the optical activity and chirality information of the material can be extracted by converting circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light and measuring the intensity of reflected light after right-handed and left-handed circular polarization respectively. By calculating the Stokes parameters, the reflected light characteristics of the material can be accurately analyzed. Especially when there are complex lattice defects, the microscopic inhomogeneity inside the material can be revealed through numerical analysis, and the resolution of the damaged area can be improved. The amplitude ratio and phase difference of the ellipsometric parameters can be calculated, which can directly reflect the interaction of the material with different polarized light, avoid the complexity of directly measuring the dielectric constant, and improve the accuracy and stability of the measurement, making the detection process more repeatable. The reflection coefficient and refractive index are calculated using Snell's law and Fresnel's formula, providing a non-destructive and high-precision method to measure the optical properties of the material. By accurately calculating the refraction angle, the understanding of the ion implantation depth and its influence can be improved, which can be further used for ion doping control in semiconductor manufacturing. The extinction coefficient in the complex refractive index is determined, so that the material's ability to absorb light can be quantified, which can be used to predict the optical loss of the material at different wavelengths. The non-destructive spectral ellipsometry method is used in combination with the calculation of Stokes vector, ellipsometric parameters and complex dielectric constant to achieve high-precision automated detection, reduce the complexity of sample preparation and improve detection efficiency.

[0029] By dividing the crystal material area, the distribution of crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon and strained silicon can be accurately distinguished after ion implantation, and the ability to analyze the changes in the material microstructure can be improved. When constructing a three-layer composite dielectric model, the weighted sum of the complex dielectric constant proportions of crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon and strained silicon is adopted to more accurately describe the changes in the overall complex dielectric constant. The Lagrangian optimization method is used to avoid non-physical solutions that may be caused by unconstrained optimization, thereby improving the stability of the model and the credibility of the calculation results. At the same time, by maximizing the fit of the complex dielectric constant model, it can ensure that the calculation results of the material proportion are optimal in the global range. Through deep layered Fourier transform, the overall complex dielectric constant can be analyzed in the depth direction, realizing the spatial layered characterization of material properties. The material proportions of different layers are calculated by multiplying the normalized weights with the optimal proportions obtained by the Lagrangian optimization method, and normalization verification is performed to ensure that the final material proportions are numerically consistent with the actual physical laws. By combining spectral ellipsometry with deep layered Fourier transform (A-FFT) combined with material area division and optimization calculation, the solution can achieve accurate layered analysis of material microstructure and defects based on high-precision polarization optical measurement, and obtain the optimal material composition ratio based on mathematical optimization methods, so that defect detection can be expanded from traditional two-dimensional surface information to high-resolution three-dimensional spatial characterization. The refractive index and extinction coefficient are derived through Stokes vector, ellipsometry parameter calculation, and Fresnel formula, so that the optical response of the material can be quantitatively described and directly related to the changes in the internal structure of the material after ion implantation, thus achieving non-destructive, high-precision, and deeply resolvable ion implantation defect detection.

The iteration is stopped when the update changes are no longer obvious, and the optimized model parameters are obtained.

[0031] Through the DNN-based deep learning model, the complex dielectric constant data can be combined with the material proportion data, making the material defect distribution prediction more global and data-driven. The neural network can capture the complex characteristics of defects in different depth layers through the nonlinear mapping ability of the hidden layer, thereby achieving more detailed material damage analysis. The Bayesian optimization method is used to optimize the neural network parameters, which can avoid the inefficiency of traditional grid search or random search methods in high-dimensional hyperparameter space.

[0032] Furthermore, predictive matching prediction refers to using calibrated experimental measurement defect distribution data to calculate the matching degree of the deep learning model's predicted material defect distribution data, setting an error threshold based on the experimental data, and if the matching degree is greater than or equal to the error threshold, the prediction is judged to be accurate.

[0033] Through matching prediction verification, it is possible to ensure that the defect distribution prediction results of the deep learning model are highly consistent with the actual experimental measurement data, thereby improving the credibility and practical usability of the model. By calculating the prediction matching degree of the deep learning model, the deviation between the predicted data and the experimental measurement data can be quantified, and the error threshold setting can be used to automatically determine whether the prediction is qualified.
