Measurement of Thickness Distribution of Si3N4 Membrane Using Phase-Shifting Interferometer

  • 1. Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The thickness of a Si3N4 thin film with a 100m nominal thickness was measured by use of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The map of the phase-delay through the thin film was obtained by an interframe intensity-correlation-matrix method that could eliminate phase-shifting errors. After the spatial phase-shifting errors were treated with a least-squares method, the reference to surface of the phase map was estimated. The overall accuracy of the method was found to be 5nm
