摘要:
微电子机械系统(Micro-Electro-Mechanical System,MEMS)具有小型化、高集成度的特点,随着MEMS结构深宽比的不断增大,对MEMS结构尺寸的测量提出更高的要求。过焦扫描光学显微技术(Through-focus Scanning Optical Microscopy,TSOM)是一种高精度无损的光学测量方法,通过采集一组离焦图并沿扫描方向截取TSOM图像,利用库匹配的方法从中提取待测结构的尺寸信息。该方法对于纳米级结构测量有着极高的灵敏度,然而对于微米级特征尺寸存在建库困难且易受环境干扰的问题。本文针对微米级MEMS沟槽结构,在传统的光学显微镜基础上进行改造,建立了TSOM光学系统采集离焦图像,利用图像特征提取方法生成TSOM特征向量集,结合机器学习的方法建立不同槽宽尺寸的回归预测模型,对微米级MEMS槽宽尺寸实现纳米级测量精度,单点重复性测量2 μm槽宽的相对标准差(Relative Standard Deviation,RSD)在1%左右,10 μm和30 μm槽宽RSD分别低于0.2%和0.35%,结果表明该方法对于微米级MEMS沟槽测量具有极高的应用前景。
Abstract:Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have the characteristics of miniaturization and high integration. As the high aspect ratio of MEMS increases, the measurement of MEMS feature size faces greater challenges. Through-focus Scanning Optical Microscopy (TSOM) technology is a high-precision and nondestructive optical measurement method. TSOM images are captured along the scanning direction by collecting a set of defocused images and the size information of the structure is extracted from TSOM images by the library matching method. This method is highly sensitive and suitable for nano-scale structure measurements, but it is difficult to build a database for micron-scale features and is susceptible to environmental interference. In this paper, a TSOM optical system is established and traditional optical microscopy is used to collect a set of defocused images. The TSOM’s feature vector set is obtained by the image feature extraction method and is combined with machine learning to establish MEMS groove regression prediction models with different feature sizes. The results show that the above method can achieve nano-scale high precision measurement of a MEMS groove width and the single point repeatability measurement has great performance. The Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) of 2 μm width is about 1%, and the RSD of 10 μm and 30 μm width are respectively lower than 0.2% and 0.35%. This method has very high application prospects for micron MEMS groove structure measurement.
