Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical interferometry technology, and in particular to a phase-shifting interferometric in-situ measurement method based on three-frame dynamic mode decomposition. Background Technology

[0002] Phase-shifting interferometry, due to its high measurement accuracy and non-contact detection capabilities, has become a fundamental technology in applications such as optical surface inspection, wavefront reconstruction, and temperature and stress analysis. In the semiconductor industry, as integrated circuit manufacturing evolves towards higher precision and smaller feature sizes, higher demands are placed on detection accuracy and efficiency. Optical interferometry, with its high resolution and non-contact detection characteristics, is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing processes for critical parameter detection, device defect identification, and online quality control, significantly improving production reliability and yield. The performance of phase-shifting interferometry largely depends on the phase-shifting algorithm employed. Typically, phase-shifting algorithms require multiple interferograms for phase demodulation, but their performance is easily affected by environmental disturbances such as turbulence, vibration, and phase shifter nonlinearity. In such cases, reducing the required number of frames helps improve measurement accuracy and real-time performance. Therefore, minimizing the required number of interferogram frames while ensuring phase demodulation accuracy has become a key focus of phase-shifting algorithm research.

[0003] In existing technologies, high-precision demodulation of the phase in interferograms can be achieved by extracting the principal modes and their eigenvalues, exhibiting good noise robustness. Since interferogram models typically contain three main modes, traditional dynamic mode decomposition (DynamD) techniques require at least four interferogram frames for phase demodulation. This requirement limits its application in highly dynamic or frame-limited conditions and places higher demands on data acquisition and processing. Attempts have combined spatial carrier phase shifting with Dynamic Mode Decomposition, constructing interferogram sequences from the spatial carrier in a single frame for phase demodulation, partially alleviating the multi-frame requirement of Dynamic Mode Decomposition. However, this does not fundamentally solve the limitation that Dynamic Mode Decomposition requires at least four interferogram frames.

[0004] Therefore, how to further minimize the required number of interferogram frames is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
