An interferometric measurement method and apparatus for large warp wafers

PendingCN122305968AWavefront sensorMechanical engineering
This invention relates to an interferometric measurement method and apparatus for large warp wafers, belonging to the field of optical detection and semiconductor measurement technology. The detection light is polarized and birefringently split to form P-beams and S-beams, which are then further divided into P-reference beams, S-silicon beams, S-reference beams, and P-silicon beams, respectively. By adjusting the spatial orientation of the reference mirror and the wafer under test, and using an aperture for spatial filtering, the P-reference beam and S-silicon beam are allowed to enter the subsequent optical path, while the S-reference beam and P-silicon beam are blocked. The S-silicon beam forms a measurement wavefront carrying information about the surface shape of the wafer under test. The P-reference beam is modulated by a deformable mirror to form a modulated reference wavefront similar to the measurement wavefront. The two form a resolvable interference fringe pattern at the camera. A wavefront sensor measures the surface shape information of the deformable mirror, and a calculation system obtains the surface shape information of the wafer under test based on the deformable mirror surface shape information and the relative surface shape change. This invention can reduce the interference fringe density in the detection of large warp wafers, reduce splicing measurement errors, and improve detection efficiency and accuracy.
