具体实施方式DETAILED DESCRIPTION

为使本申请的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本申请的具体实施方式做详细的说明。In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

为了便于理解,下面结合附图对本申请实施例提供的一种半导体材料的缺陷表征系统、方法和相关装置进行详细的说明。To facilitate understanding, a semiconductor material defect characterization system, method and related devices provided in an embodiment of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

参考图1所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种半导体材料的缺陷表征系统的结构示意图,该系统可以包括超连续激光发射器1、分光晶体11、起偏器5、第一棱镜6、第一透镜7、显微镜12、样本位移台14、第二透镜15、第二棱镜16、检偏器19、狭缝和计算机23。Referring to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a defect characterization system for semiconductor materials provided in an embodiment of the present application, the system may include a supercontinuum laser emitter 1, a spectroscopic crystal 11, a polarizer 5, a first prism 6, a first lens 7, a microscope 12, a sample displacement stage 14, a second lens 15, a second prism 16, an analyzer 19, a slit and a computer 23.

在本申请实施例中,超连续激光发射器1用于发射激光光束,以便激光光束可以照射在半导体材料13上,对半导体材料13表面的缺陷进行表征。半导体材料13可以为三五族元素构成的化合物半导体,例如砷化镓等。超连续激光发射器1也可以记为超连续白光激光器,超连续激光发射器1发出的激光光束具有很宽的连续光谱,连续光谱可以包括从紫外光至红外光。In the embodiment of the present application, the supercontinuum laser emitter 1 is used to emit a laser beam so that the laser beam can be irradiated on the semiconductor material 13 to characterize the defects on the surface of the semiconductor material 13. The semiconductor material 13 can be a compound semiconductor composed of group III and V elements, such as gallium arsenide. The supercontinuum laser emitter 1 can also be recorded as a supercontinuum white light laser. The laser beam emitted by the supercontinuum laser emitter 1 has a wide continuous spectrum, and the continuous spectrum can include from ultraviolet light to infrared light.

由于半导体材料的缺陷具有很多激发态,也就是具有很多类型的缺陷,例如深能级缺陷、浅能级缺陷和杂质缺陷,不同激发态对应的光能量是不同的,例如有的激发态为需要电子从价带跃迁至导带,有的激发态需要电子从价带跃迁至第二个导带,还有的激发态需要电子从杂质能级跃迁至导带,因此,对于不同的激发态对应的缺陷,需要利用合适的光能量去进行激发。Since the defects in semiconductor materials have many excited states, that is, there are many types of defects, such as deep energy level defects, shallow energy level defects and impurity defects, the light energy corresponding to different excited states is different. For example, some excited states require electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band, some excited states require electrons to jump from the valence band to the second conduction band, and some excited states require electrons to jump from the impurity energy level to the conduction band. Therefore, for defects corresponding to different excited states, appropriate light energy is needed to excite them.

这样,由于激光光束具有很宽的连续光谱,可以为各种激发态的激发提供相应的能量,从而在超连续激光发射器1的作用下,可以激发半导体材料表面的各种激发态,从而可以测量出半导体材料中的各种缺陷,例如深能级缺陷、浅能级缺陷和杂质缺陷等,从而可以在缺陷表征图像中更准确的显示出各种缺陷,提高对半导体材料缺陷检测的全面性和准确性。In this way, since the laser beam has a very wide continuous spectrum, it can provide corresponding energy for the excitation of various excited states. Therefore, under the action of the supercontinuum laser emitter 1, various excited states on the surface of the semiconductor material can be excited, so that various defects in the semiconductor material can be measured, such as deep energy level defects, shallow energy level defects and impurity defects, etc., so that various defects can be more accurately displayed in the defect characterization image, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of semiconductor material defect detection.

具体地,半导体材料的禁带宽度(Eg)和光波长(λ)具有一定的关系,禁带宽度可以理解为导带的最低能级和价带的最高能级之间的能量,具体可以表示为:Eg=1024/λ。在光能量大于半导体材料的禁带宽度时,可以激发电子从价带跃迁至导带。Specifically, there is a certain relationship between the bandgap width (Eg) of semiconductor materials and the wavelength (λ) of light. The bandgap width can be understood as the energy between the lowest energy level of the conduction band and the highest energy level of the valence band, which can be specifically expressed as: Eg = 1024/λ. When the light energy is greater than the bandgap width of the semiconductor material, electrons can be excited to jump from the valence band to the conduction band.

在本申请实施例中,在超连续激光发射器1和分光晶体11之间的光路上,具有依次设置的起偏器5、第一棱镜6和第一透镜7,起偏器5用于使激光光束变为第一线偏振光;第一棱镜6用于使第一线偏振光分解为寻常光和非寻常光;第一透镜7用于使寻常光和非寻常光的出射方向平行。In the embodiment of the present application, on the optical path between the supercontinuum laser emitter 1 and the spectroscopic crystal 11, there are a polarizer 5, a first prism 6 and a first lens 7 arranged in sequence. The polarizer 5 is used to convert the laser beam into a first linear polarized light; the first prism 6 is used to decompose the first linear polarized light into ordinary light and extraordinary light; the first lens 7 is used to make the emission directions of ordinary light and extraordinary light parallel.

在图1中,超连续激光发射器1发出的激光光束经过第一平面镜2的反射入射至起偏器5中,起偏器5可以调整激光光束的偏振态,使其变为线偏振光,通过起偏器5后的光束可以记为第一线偏振光,第一线偏振光的偏振方向与起偏器5的透振方向相同。In Figure 1, the laser beam emitted by the supercontinuum laser transmitter 1 is reflected by the first plane mirror 2 and incident into the polarizer 5. The polarizer 5 can adjust the polarization state of the laser beam to make it linearly polarized light. The beam after passing through the polarizer 5 can be recorded as the first linear polarized light. The polarization direction of the first linear polarized light is the same as the transmission direction of the polarizer 5.

第一线偏振光可以入射至第一棱镜6,第一线偏振光可以在第一棱镜6内具有双折射效应,第一棱镜6能够将第一线偏振光分解为寻常(ordinary)光和非寻常(extraordinary)光,可以记为o光和e光,o光和e光的振动方向相互垂直,且二者之间具有一定的相位差。The first linear polarized light can be incident on the first prism 6. The first linear polarized light can have a birefringence effect in the first prism 6. The first prism 6 can decompose the first linear polarized light into ordinary light and extraordinary light, which can be recorded as o light and e light. The vibration directions of o light and e light are perpendicular to each other, and there is a certain phase difference between the two.

o光和e光向第一透镜7入射,第一透镜7可以使得o光和e光平行出射,接着平行入射至分光晶体11中,分光晶体11可以改变o光和e光的传播方向。作为示例,第一棱镜6可以为诺马斯基棱镜,起偏器5可以为格兰泰勒棱镜。The o-light and the e-light are incident on the first lens 7, and the first lens 7 can make the o-light and the e-light emerge in parallel, and then be incident on the spectroscopic crystal 11 in parallel, and the spectroscopic crystal 11 can change the propagation direction of the o-light and the e-light.

The sample displacement stage 14 is used to place a semiconductor material 13. The semiconductor material 13 can be placed on the surface of the sample displacement stage 14. The spectroscopic crystal 11 is used to allow ordinary light and extraordinary light to be incident on the microscope 12 so that the microscope 12 can focus.

也就是说,寻常光和非寻常光经过分光晶体11入射至显微镜12内,显微镜12可以对相互平行的寻常光和非寻常光进行聚焦,使其聚焦在半导体材料13的表面上。即,显微镜12可以将两束光线更精细的照射在半导体材料13表面进行微观观测,作为一种示例,显微镜12可以为50x的显微镜。That is, ordinary light and extraordinary light are incident into the microscope 12 through the spectroscopic crystal 11, and the microscope 12 can focus the ordinary light and extraordinary light that are parallel to each other, so that they are focused on the surface of the semiconductor material 13. That is, the microscope 12 can irradiate the two beams of light more finely on the surface of the semiconductor material 13 for microscopic observation. As an example, the microscope 12 can be a 50x microscope.

在本申请实施例中,寻常光和非寻常光入射至半导体材料13的表面后会发生反射,反射回的寻常光和非寻常光可以经过显微镜12和分光晶体11向外出射。在分光晶体11与光电探测器21之间的光路上,具有依次设置的第二透镜15、第二棱镜16、检偏器19和狭缝,在图1中,狭缝位于光电探测器21之前。作为示例,第二棱镜16可以为诺马斯基棱镜。In the embodiment of the present application, ordinary light and extraordinary light are reflected after being incident on the surface of the semiconductor material 13, and the reflected ordinary light and extraordinary light can be emitted outward through the microscope 12 and the spectroscopic crystal 11. In the optical path between the spectroscopic crystal 11 and the photodetector 21, there are a second lens 15, a second prism 16, an analyzer 19 and a slit arranged in sequence. In FIG1 , the slit is located before the photodetector 21. As an example, the second prism 16 can be a Nomarski prism.

第二透镜15用于改变半导体材料13的表面反射的寻常光和非寻常光经过分光晶体11后的出射方向,也就是说,寻常光和非寻常光经过第二透镜15后,其出射方向相交,以便后续可以将寻常光和非寻常光重新会聚为一束光。其中,第一透镜7和第二透镜15可以为凸透镜。The second lens 15 is used to change the emission direction of the ordinary light and the extraordinary light reflected from the surface of the semiconductor material 13 after passing through the spectroscopic crystal 11, that is, after the ordinary light and the extraordinary light pass through the second lens 15, their emission directions intersect, so that the ordinary light and the extraordinary light can be re-converged into a beam of light later. Among them, the first lens 7 and the second lens 15 can be convex lenses.

第二棱镜16用于将半导体材料13的表面反射的寻常光和非寻常光会聚为第二线偏振光,即从第二棱镜16出射的光也为线偏振光,第二线偏振光经过第二平面镜17的反射后向检偏器19出射,检偏器19可以过滤其它方向的偏振,提高第二线偏振光的准确性,接着向狭缝入射,狭缝用于使第二线偏振光中的o光和e光之间发生干涉,并入射至光电探测器21中,光电探测器21用于将接收到的光信号转换为电信号,以便后续对电信号进行计算和处理。The second prism 16 is used to converge the ordinary light and extraordinary light reflected from the surface of the semiconductor material 13 into the second linear polarized light, that is, the light emitted from the second prism 16 is also linearly polarized light. The second linear polarized light is reflected by the second plane mirror 17 and then emitted to the analyzer 19. The analyzer 19 can filter the polarization in other directions to improve the accuracy of the second linear polarized light. Then, the second linear polarized light is incident on the slit. The slit is used to cause interference between the o light and the e light in the second linear polarized light, and then is incident on the photodetector 21. The photodetector 21 is used to convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal so as to subsequently calculate and process the electrical signal.

光电探测器21可以连接计算机23,计算机23用于根据电信号显示半导体材料13的表面的缺陷表征图像,即,计算机23可以对电信号进行处理,从而转换为可视的图像。缺陷表征图像中可以清楚的显示出半导体材料13表面的缺陷、裂痕等。The photodetector 21 can be connected to a computer 23, which is used to display a defect characterization image of the surface of the semiconductor material 13 according to the electrical signal, that is, the computer 23 can process the electrical signal and convert it into a visible image. The defect characterization image can clearly show defects, cracks, etc. on the surface of the semiconductor material 13.

具体地,由于半导体材料13的表面具有各种缺陷,o光和e光入射至材料表面后,材料表面的凹凸会导致o光和e光对应的光程之间会存在光程差,半导体材料13的图像因光束发生干涉、振幅变化而变得明暗对比增强,缺陷表征图像中可以呈现出三维立体的浮雕状效果,能够使得缺陷表征图像更加清晰的表现缺陷。Specifically, since the surface of the semiconductor material 13 has various defects, after the o-light and the e-light are incident on the material surface, the convexity and concavity of the material surface will cause an optical path difference between the optical paths corresponding to the o-light and the e-light. The image of the semiconductor material 13 becomes enhanced in light and dark contrast due to the interference of the light beams and the change in amplitude. A three-dimensional relief effect can be presented in the defect characterization image, which can make the defect characterization image more clearly show the defects.

在一种可能的实现方式中,缺陷表征系统还可以包括相互连接的锁相放大器24和斩波器8,锁相放大器24可以控制斩波器8的频率,斩波器8的频率可以接入锁相放大器24的参考信号,以便控制斩波器8。作为一种示例,斩波器8的频率可以为400Hz。In a possible implementation, the defect characterization system may further include a phase-locked amplifier 24 and a chopper 8 connected to each other, the phase-locked amplifier 24 may control the frequency of the chopper 8, and the frequency of the chopper 8 may be connected to a reference signal of the phase-locked amplifier 24 to control the chopper 8. As an example, the frequency of the chopper 8 may be 400 Hz.

参考图1所示,斩波器8可以位于第一透镜7和分光晶体11之间的光路上,用于根据频率调整寻常光和非寻常光。即,平行出射的寻常光和非寻常光可以向斩波器8出射,从而通过斩波器8控制寻常光和非寻常光的频率,即斩波器8可以通过一定频率的旋转对该系统提供一个脉冲信号。As shown in FIG1 , the chopper 8 may be located on the optical path between the first lens 7 and the spectroscopic crystal 11, and is used to adjust the ordinary light and the extraordinary light according to the frequency. That is, the ordinary light and the extraordinary light emitted in parallel may be emitted toward the chopper 8, so that the frequencies of the ordinary light and the extraordinary light are controlled by the chopper 8, that is, the chopper 8 may provide a pulse signal to the system by rotating at a certain frequency.

锁相放大器24还可以与光电探测器21相连,光电探测器21输出的电信号经过锁相放大器24的处理后再传递给计算机23,锁相放大器24可以对电信号进行过滤,过滤杂波,降低噪声,提高获得的电信号的精度,进而提高图像的准确性。The phase-locked amplifier 24 can also be connected to the photodetector 21. The electrical signal output by the photodetector 21 is processed by the phase-locked amplifier 24 and then transmitted to the computer 23. The phase-locked amplifier 24 can filter the electrical signal, filter out clutter, reduce noise, improve the accuracy of the obtained electrical signal, and thus improve the accuracy of the image.

In other words, the stepper motor controller 25 may control the sample displacement stage 14 to traverse a certain square area so as to measure various areas of the semiconductor material 13 without manually moving the position of the semiconductor material 13, thereby improving the convenience of the measurement operation.

在一种可能的实现方式中,缺陷表征系统还可以包括小孔滤波器3,小孔滤波器3位于超连续激光发射器1和起偏器5之间的光路上,用于提纯激光光束,去除杂散光。其中,小孔滤波器3的小孔大小可以为1微米。In a possible implementation, the defect characterization system may further include a pinhole filter 3, which is located in the optical path between the supercontinuum laser emitter 1 and the polarizer 5, and is used to purify the laser beam and remove stray light.
