Single-shot spectrally resolved interferometry for the simultaneous measurement of the thickness and surface profile of multilayer films.
2021
We present a single-shot spectrally-resolved interferometry for simultaneously measuring the film thickness and surface profile of each layer of a patterned multilayer film structure. For this purpose, we implemented an achromatic phase shifting method based on the geometric phase using the polarization characteristics of the light and obtained four phase-shifted interferograms in the spectrally-resolved fringe pattern at the same time by combining a pixelated polarizing camera with an imaging spectrometer. As a result, we could simultaneously measure the reflectance and phase of the sample over a wide wavelength range with a single measurement. To evaluate the validity of the proposed method, we measured a patterned five-layer film specimen and compared our measurement results with those from commercial instruments, an ellipsometer and a stylus profiler, respectively. We confirmed the results matched each other well.
