Description

BACKGROUND

1. Field

Example embodiments relate to a spectrum measuring apparatus. More particularly, example embodiments relate to a light focusing unit and a spectrum measuring apparatus having the same, capable of guiding polarized light to be incident on a sample at multiple incidence angles, and measuring both split-beam and arc-minute spectra of numerous wavelength bands at the incidence angles.

2. Description of Related Art

Semiconductor devices are fabricated by sequentially or selectively performing numerous unit processes, e.g., diffusion, deposition, ion implantation, exposure, cleaning, etc., on a substrate. For example, during fabrication of a semiconductor device, an ultra thin film having a thickness of several nanometers or less may be deposited on the substrate. A spectrum measuring apparatus, e.g., a spectroscopic ellipsometer, may be used to, e.g., precisely, measure the thickness of the ultra thin film and optical properties of a material of which the ultra thin film is formed.

The spectroscopic ellipsometer determines complex refractive indices n and k using a pair of spectra Δ and Ψ within an entire wavelength region measured at a single incidence angle. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a conventional spectroscopic ellipsometer may include a light source section 10 emitting light, a polarized light generator 20 polarizing the light of the light source section 10 to cause the polarized light to be incident on a sample 1, a polarized light detecting section 30 detecting the polarized light reflected from the sample 1, and a detector 40 acquiring spectra from the detected polarized light. The spectroscopic ellipsometer may also include a compensator 21.

The conventional spectroscopic ellipsometer may be a single incidence-angle spectroscopic ellipsometer. However, the conventional single incidence-angle spectroscopic ellipsometer may have a low sensitivity to a vertical geometric structure of a thin film material, despite having a rapid measurement speed.

FIG. 4 illustrates an enlarged perspective view of a light collimating section of FIG. 2. FIG. 5 illustrates a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I′ of FIG. 3.

A spectrum measuring apparatus according to an example embodiment may include a light focusing unit capable of guiding polarized light to be incident on a sample at multiple incidence angles. A configuration of the light focusing unit will be described below along with a configuration of the spectrum measuring apparatus.

Referring to FIG. 2, the spectrum measuring apparatus may include a light focusing unit, a light collimating section 400, and a light detecting section 500. The light focusing unit may include a light source section 100 emitting light, e.g., laser beams, a polarized light generator 200, and a light focusing section 300. The light source section 100 may emit collimated light.

The polarized light generator 200 may be installed adjacent to the light source section 100. The polarized light generator 200 polarizes the light emitted from the light source section 100, so the polarized light proceeds along a plurality of light incidence paths “a” that are parallel to one another. The polarized light generator 200 may not add the angles of the collimated light.

The light focusing section 300 may be installed adjacent to the polarized light generator 200, e.g., the polarized light generator 200 may be between the light source section 100 and the light focusing section 300. The light focusing section 300 may be positioned between the polarized light generator 200 and a sample 600, so the light focusing section 300 may focus the polarized light from the polarized light generator 200, i.e., light along the light incidence paths “a”, on a test position P of the sample 600 at different incidence angles θ₁, θ₂, θ₃, . . . , θ_n. For example, the sample 600 may be a silicon substrate.

The light collimating section 400 may be adjacent to the sample 600. The light collimating section 400 may collimate light, i.e., light reflected from the test position P of the sample 600, at different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n corresponding to the incidence angles θ₁, θ₂, θ₃, . . . , θ_n, along a plurality of light emergence paths “b” that are parallel to one another. The light collimating section 400 may have a substantially same configuration as the light focusing section 300, as will be discussed in more detail below. The light collimating section 400 may be disposed at a position having a same level and same configuration as, e.g., symmetrical to, the light focusing section 300 with respect to the sample 600.

The light detecting section 500 may be adjacent to the light collimating section 400, e.g., the light collimating section 400 may be between the sample 600 and the light detecting section 500. The light detecting section 500 detects spectra of the light from the light collimating section 400, i.e., light guided from the light collimating section 400 along the light emergence paths “b” according to the different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n. The light detecting section 500 may be a polarized light detecting section. For example, the light detecting section 500 may include a charge coupled device (CCD) light detector, and may be configured to pre-set a wavelength axis and an incidence-angle axis.

In addition, both the polarized light generator 200 and the light detecting section 500 may include a polarizer (not shown). For example, the polarizer of the polarized light generator 200 may be rotated at a predetermined speed by a motor 210. The motor 210 receives an electrical signal from the outside, and generates a rotational force, so that it can rotate the polarizer at a predetermined speed. In another example, the polarizer of the light detecting section 500 may be rotated at a predetermined speed by a motor 550. Further, the polarized light generator 200 and the light detecting section 500 may include first and second compensators 250 and 510, respectively.

Next, a configuration of the light focusing section 300 mentioned above will be described in greater detail below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5.

Referring to FIGS. 2-3 and 5, the light focusing section 300 may include a focusing section body 310, a first incidence plane part 320 formed on one face, i.e. a top face, of the focusing section body 310, and a first emergence plane part 330 formed on the other face, i.e. a bottom face, of the focusing section body 310. For example, the light focusing section 300 may be a spherical lens or a non-spherical lens, i.e., an aspherical lens.

The focusing section body 310 may be a plano-convex cylindrical lens, e.g., having a shape of a rod, with a predetermined length and a plano-convex cross section. An axis extending in a lengthwise direction of the focusing section body 310 may function as a wavelength axis. Thus, another axis perpendicular to the wavelength axis of the focusing section body 310 may function as an incidence-angle axis. In other words, the wavelength axis extends in an x-axial direction, whereas the incidence-angle axis extends in a y-axial direction.

The first incidence plane part 320 may include a substantially flat surface, and may face the polarized light generator 200. Therefore, light along the light incidence paths “a” from the polarized light generator 200 may be incident on the flat surface of the first incidence plane part 320 of the focusing section body 310 to be incident on the test position P of the sample 600.

The first emergence plane part 330 may be opposite the first incidence plane part 320. The first emergence plane part 330 may include a convex surface, e.g., a downwardly convex plane facing the sample 600, such that the light passing through the first incidence plane part 320 and the focusing section body 310 may be collimated at the different incidence angles θ₁, θ₂, θ₃, . . . , θ_n through the first emergence plane part 330 toward the sample 600.

Next, a configuration of the light collimating section 400 mentioned above will be described in greater detail below with reference to FIG. 4.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the light collimating section 400 may include a collimating section body 410 that may be a plano-convex cylindrical lens, e.g., having a shape of a rod with a predetermined length, a second incidence plane part 420 formed on one face, i.e. a bottom face, of the collimating section body 410, and a second emergence plane part 430 formed on the other face, i.e. a top face, of the collimating section body 410. The second incidence plane part 420 may have a convex plane facing the sample 600, so light reflected from the sample 600 at the different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n toward the light collimating section 400 may be incident on the second incidence plane part 420. The second emergence plane part 430 may have a flat plane opposite the second incidence plane part 420, such that light passing through the second incidence plane part 420 and the collimating section body 410 may pass through the second emergence plane part 430 to form the light emergence paths “b”. For example, structures of the light focusing section 300 and the light collimating section 400 may be symmetrical, e.g., the first emergence plane part 330 and the second incidence plane part 420 may have same radii curvature.

The collimating section body 410 may have a shape of a rod having a predetermined length and a plano-convex cross section. Here, an axis extending in a lengthwise direction of the collimating section body 410 may function as a wavelength axis. Thus, another axis perpendicular to the wavelength axis of the collimating section body 410 may function as an incidence-angle axis. In other words, the wavelength axis extends in an x-axial direction, whereas the incidence-angle axis extends in a y-axial direction.

FIG. 6 illustrates a cross-sectional view of another example of a light focusing section or a light collimating section according to an example embodiment. FIG. 7 illustrates a partial enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 6.

According to another embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 6-7, the spectrum measuring apparatus may include a light focusing section 301 and a light collimating section 401. A first emergence plane part 331 in the light focusing section 301 may be configured so that sub-parts having different curvature radii are detachably stacked. Further, a second incidence plane part 421 in the light collimating section 401 may be configured so that sub-parts having different curvature radii are detachably stacked. Here, among the reference numbers that have not yet been described, 311 indicates a focusing section body, 321 indicates a first incidence plane part, 411 indicates an emergence section body, and 421 indicates a second emergence plane part.

Next, an operation of the spectrum measuring apparatus in FIG. 2 will be described.

Referring to FIG. 2, the light source section 100 may emit light, e.g., laser beams. The emitted light may be incident on the polarized light generator 200, so the polarized light generator 200 may polarize the emitted light to be guided along the light incidence paths “a” that are parallel to one another. The polarized light may be guided from the polarized light generator 200 to be incident on the light focusing section 300.

In detail, the polarized light may be incident on the first incidence plane part 320 of the focusing section body 310, e.g., the incidence angle of the polarized light on the first incidence plane part 320 may be 90°. In this manner, the light incident on the first incidence plane part 320 passes through the focusing section body 310 and the first emergence plane part 330 formed on the bottom face of the focusing section body 310 in a convex shape.

Here, the Y axis extending in the lengthwise direction of the focusing section body 310 functions as a wavelength axis (or a split-beam axis), whereas the X axis perpendicular to the wavelength axis functions as an incidence-angle axis (or an arc-minute axis).

Then, the light passing through the first emergence plane part 330 is focused onto the test position P of the sample 600. Thus, referring to FIG. 2, the light passing through the first emergence plane part 330 is incident on the test position P of the sample 600 at different incidence angles θ₁, θ₂, θ₃, . . . , θ_n with respect to an optical axis c. As a result, the light passing through the first emergence plane part 330 can be focused onto the test position P of the sample 600.

In this manner, the light reflected from the test position P of the sample 600 may travel toward the light collimating section 400 at different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n which have substantially the same angles as respective incidence angles θ₁, θ₂, θ₃, . . . , θ_n. In detail, the light reflected from the test position P of the sample 600 at the different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n may be incident on the convex second incidence plane part 420 of the light collimating section 400.

The light having the different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n may pass through the rod-shaped collimating section body 410 of the light collimating section 400, and then through the flat second emergence plane part 430 of the collimating section body 410. Thus, the light having the different emergence angles δ₁, δ₂, δ₃, . . . , δ_n may pass through the second emergence plane part 430 of the collimating section body 410, and may be detected at the numerous parallel light emergence paths “b” by the light detecting section 500.

Here, the light detecting section 500 may be a CCD light detector. Since the wavelength axis (or split-beam axis) and the incidence-angle axis (or arc-minute axis) are preset for the light detection section 500, the light detection section 500 may acquire split-beam spectra at the incidence angles θ₁, θ₂, θ₃, . . . , θ_n, at which the light is incident on the sample 600. For example, the CCD light detector having 1024×1024 pixels may acquire split-beam spectra at maximum 1024 incidence angles. This may be regarded as the CCD light detector acquiring arc-minute spectra at 1024 wavelengths. FIG. 8 illustrates a graph showing an example of a signal based on a wavelength axis and an incidence-angle axis preset for the light detecting section 500.

FIGS. 9A and 9B are graphs showing split-beam spectra acquired depending on a variety of incidence angles using a spectrum measuring apparatus according to an example embodiment. FIGS. 10A and 10B are graphs showing split-beam spectra acquired depending on a variety of wavelengths using a spectrum measuring apparatus according to an example embodiment.

In detail, FIGS. 9A and 9B show the split-beam spectra acquired when the light is irradiated onto the sample 600, which is a silicon substrate where an oxide layer (SiO₂) is grown at a thickness of 50 nm, at incidence angles of 55°, 60°, 65°, and 70°. Further, FIGS. 10A and 10B show the arc-minute spectra acquired when the light is irradiated onto the sample 600 at wavelengths of 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, and 700 nm. Thus, the spectrum measuring apparatus according to example embodiments may measure both the split-beam spectra and the arc-minute spectra, as shown in FIGS. 9A through 10B.

An operation of the spectrum measuring apparatus in FIGS. 6-7 is as follows. Referring to FIGS. 6-7, the incidence angles at which the light is incident on the sample 600 may be adjusted at various intervals.

More specifically, in the case of the light focusing section 301, the first incidence plane part 331 formed on the top face of the focusing section body 311 of the light focusing section 301 may be configured so that multiple sub-parts having different curvature radii are detachably stacked. Here, the curvature radii of the multiple sub-parts constituting the first incidence plane part 331 may be gradually increased or decreased in proportion to the distance from the focusing section body 311.

Similarly, in the case of the light collimating section 401, the first emergence plane part 421 formed on the top face of the collimating section body 411 of the light collimating section 401 may be configured so that multiple sub-parts having different curvature radii are detachably stacked. Here, the curvature radii of the multiple sub-parts constituting the first emergence plane part 421 may be gradually increased or decreased in proportion to the distance from the collimating section body 411.

Alternatively or additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the detachable stacking may employ a slidable coupling mechanism. For example, at least one sliding rail 331a may be slidably fitted into at least one sliding groove 331b, such that the multiple sub-parts constituting the first incidence plane part 331 are closely contacted with one other. The detachable stacking may employ the above-mentioned slidable coupling mechanism in the collimating section body 411 as well.

Thus, when the light focusing section 301 and the light collimating section 401 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are used, one of the first incidence plane part 331 and the second emergence plane part 421 may be used. Thereby, the intervals of the incidence angles at which the light is incident on the test position P of the sample 600 may be variously adjusted.

As described above, the inventive concept is capable of guiding light, which is polarized after being emitted from a light source, to be incident on a sample at multiple incidence angles. Further, the inventive concept is capable of measuring both the split-beam and arc-minute spectra of numerous wavelength bands at incidence angles at which the light is incident on the sample. Therefore, a spectrum measuring apparatus according to example embodiments may be sensitive to both a geometrical difference and an optical property resulting from a vertical structure of the substrate that is a target of measurement, while having reduced operating/measuring time.

In contrast, a conventional variable incidence-angle spectroscopic ellipsometer, i.e., a structure including a goniometer that varies an incidence angle at which light is incident on a substrate as a sample, may require an auxiliary hardware operation of the goniometer for varying the incidence angle at which the light is incident on the sample. As such, an operating time of the goniometer and a measuring time including spectrum acquisition in the conventional variable incidence-angle spectroscopic ellipsometer may be increased in proportion to a number of variable incidence angles. Also, a conventional focused-beam ellipsometer, i.e., an ellipsometer in which an incidence angle is diversified using typical lenses, uses a single wavelength, and thus may require a multi-wavelength laser or a filter capable of selecting a desired wavelength in order to acquire a multi-wavelength spectrum. As such, the conventional focused-beam ellipsometer may have problems with a limitation on wavelength selection and a delay of the measurement speed in proportion to a number of selected wavelengths.

Exemplary embodiments have been disclosed herein, and although specific terms are employed, they are used and are to be interpreted in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purpose of limitation. Accordingly, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
