The division of the following embodiments is for ease of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present invention. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.
[0021] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for quality analysis of surface-treated metal thin films, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: Step S1: Use a multimodal detection system to acquire data of the metal thin layer. The multimodal detection system includes a CMOS camera, a Raman spectrometer, and a terahertz wave imager. Step S2: Process the data collected by the multimodal detection system through a convolutional neural network, extract and fuse feature vectors, and generate classification results for surface defects, internal defects, and chemical composition distribution; Step S3: Data during the thin-layer formation process is collected using an ultrafast laser spectrometer and micro-sensors embedded in the surface treatment equipment, and the deposition parameters of the surface treatment equipment are adjusted using a reinforcement learning algorithm; Step S4: Update the weights of the convolutional neural network using an incremental learning algorithm, and output an analysis report including the defect type.
[0022] Specifically, in step S1, the multimodal detection system acquires two-dimensional image data of the metal thin layer surface using a CMOS camera as surface image data, obtains molecular vibrational spectrum data of the metal thin layer using a Raman spectrometer to detect chemical composition such as oxide and impurity distribution, and scans the internal structure of the metal thin layer using a terahertz wave imager to obtain three-dimensional defect distribution data. In step S2, the convolutional neural network first preprocesses the surface image data of the metal thin layer, including grayscale conversion and edge detection, and then extracts feature vectors from the spectral and terahertz data. These feature vectors are then weighted and concatenated to generate comprehensive features for classifying surface cracks, voids, internal delamination, and chemical inhomogeneities. Step S3 is performed in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) setup. An ultrafast laser spectrometer and micro-sensors acquire the thickness, crystal structure, and environmental parameters of the metal thin layer in real time. A reinforcement learning algorithm compares the acquired data with preset thresholds and adjusts the deposition rate and temperature accordingly. In step S4, an incremental learning algorithm updates the weights of the convolutional neural network based on newly acquired data, generating an analysis report containing defect types, locations, and chemical distributions. The analysis report is output in heatmap and tabular form for operator reference.
[0023] Step S1 aims to provide comprehensive raw data for subsequent defect analysis. The multimodal detection system includes a CMOS camera with a resolution of 10-20 megapixels and a wavelength of... The Raman spectrometer and the terahertz wave imager with a working frequency of 0.1THz-4THz were used to simultaneously acquire information about different dimensions of the metal thin layer. A CMOS camera acquires a one-dimensional image of the surface morphology of a thin metal layer as surface image data, which is then used to detect cracks and voids. Raman spectrometers acquire molecular vibrational spectral data of thin metal layers, and use this data to identify oxide content and chemical impurity distribution. Terahertz wave imagers acquire three-dimensional internal structure images of thin metal layers as internal structure data, which are then used to detect hidden defects such as delamination and bubbles.

The molecular vibrational spectral data is then processed, including baseline correction and peak fitting, to identify the oxide content and impurity distribution, and generate a two-dimensional distribution map of the chemical composition.
[0029] Terahertz wave imagers operate at frequencies of 0.1 terahertz to 4 terahertz. They are used to acquire internal structural data of thin metal layers, including internal defects such as delamination and bubbles.
[0030] Specifically, the terahertz wave imager generates a three-dimensional image of the internal structure of the metal thin layer by scanning the metal thin layer in transmission mode. This image serves as the internal structure data of the metal thin layer. The internal structure data is then processed, including time-domain signal conversion and spatial reconstruction, to identify internal defects with a layer thickness of 1 micrometer to 10 micrometers and a bubble diameter of 5 micrometers to 20 micrometers.
[0031] Combined Figure 2 Step S2 includes the following sub-steps: Sub-step S201: Extract the feature vectors of the metal thin layer data acquired by the CMOS camera, Raman spectrometer, and terahertz wave imager, respectively denoted as... , and ; Sub-step S202: Merge feature vectors using a weighted concatenation method. The calculation formula is as follows: ; Sub-step S203: Input the merged feature vector into the classification layer and output the classification results of surface defects, internal defects and chemical composition distribution.
[0032] Specifically, step S2 aims to transform the multimodal data collected in step S1 into structured quality indicators, which serve as the basis for process control.

Based on the defect classification results, it calculates three quality indicators: defect density. Thickness uniformity and thickness deviation .
[0036] The ultrafast laser spectrometer has a pulse width of 50-150 femtoseconds, a wavelength of 700-900 nanometers, and a sampling frequency of once every 5-15 milliseconds. The ultrafast laser spectrometer is used to collect thickness and crystal structure data of thin metal layers.
[0037] Specifically, the ultrafast laser spectrometer is integrated into the cavity of the surface treatment equipment. Pulsed laser is transmitted through optical fiber.

After processing the acquired spectral reflection signal of the thickness of the metal thin layer and the Raman scattering signal of the crystal structure, thickness curve and crystal diffraction peak shift map are generated respectively.
[0038] The microsensors, ranging in size from 0.5 to 1.5 cubic centimeters, are integrated into physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition equipment to collect temperature and pressure data during the formation of thin metal layers.
[0039] Specifically, the micro-sensors transmit data via a wireless module to record temperature and pressure changes in real time during the deposition process. The recorded data is used to analyze the uniformity of the metal thin film and the causes of defect formation.
[0040] The reinforcement learning algorithm in step S3 is based on a deep Q-network, and step S3 specifically includes the following sub-steps: Sub-step S301: Collect the thickness and preset threshold data of the metal thin layer; Sub-step S302: Calculate the reward function, the formula is: ; Sub-step S303: Adjust the deposition rate and temperature parameters of the surface treatment equipment according to the reward function.
[0041] Specifically, step S3 aims to dynamically adjust the deposition parameters based on the defect results identified in step S2, thereby achieving closed-loop quality control. as a state vector , with deposition rate and substrate temperature As an action A deep Q-network (DQN) is built, and the policy update is guided by the following reward function: .

Preset target thickness; , , These are the weighting coefficients for the three indicators, with recommended values ranging from 0.4 to 0.6, 0.2 to 0.4, and 0.1 to 0.3, respectively, to balance the effects of defect density, uniformity, and thickness deviation. The Q-value iterative update formula is: .

[0044] When an increase in defect density or thickness deviation is detected, the control device automatically reduces the deposition rate (0.1 nm / s–1 nm / s) and increases the temperature (100°C–500°C) to correct the deposition process in real time. The new process status data will be re-sent to step S1 to form a feedback loop.
[0045] The incremental learning algorithm in step S4 uses a lifelong continuous learning-plastic weight consolidation method. Step S4 specifically includes the following sub-steps: Sub-step S401: Calculate the loss function for the current task; Sub-step S402: Use the Fisher information matrix to protect historical weights, and update the formula as follows: ; Sub-step S403: Adjust weights to handle new metal thin-film materials and defect types.
[0046] Specifically, step S4 is used to ensure that the model maintains high accuracy in identifying defects when process conditions change or new defect types appear.
[0047] After the adjusted process in step S3 generates new defect samples, these new samples are added to the training set, and the weights of the CNN are updated using the Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) algorithm. The calculation formula is as follows: .
[0048] in, This represents the total loss after the incremental update. The classification loss for the current task, For the first convolutional neural network The current values of the parameters, For the first in the historical model The old values of the parameters, For the first Fisher information values for each parameter. The regularization coefficient is used. An EWC update is triggered every 100 new samples collected, ensuring the model maintains its original defect recognition performance while learning new defect features (such as peeling). The updated model immediately replaces the classification network in step S2, ensuring that subsequent detection results always match the current process state, thus achieving system self-evolution.
