    • A reference signal is used to track the actual behavior of the scanner in an interferometer to produce scanner-position data that can be used to correct errors introduced by scanner nonlinearities and other error sources. A narrow-band light source is advantageously utilized to cover the entire range of operation of the scanner. Because of the independent reference channel, the invention is suitable for implementation with all types of conventional interferometric techniques. The concept is preferably implemented by utilizing an additional light source and the same scanner used for the measurement, so that the OPD varies in synchronization of both the reference-signal and data-collection procedures. Alternatively, a high temporal-coherence filter may be used with the same light source and optical path used for the interferometric measurement.
    • 参考信号用于跟踪扫描仪在干涉仪中的实际行为,以产生可用于校正扫描仪非线性和其他错误源引入的误差的扫描仪位置数据。 有利地,窄带光源用于覆盖扫描仪的整个操作范围。 由于独立的参考通道,本发明适用于所有类型的常规干涉技术的实现。 该概念优选地通过利用附加光源和用于测量的相同扫描器来实现,使得OPD在参考信号和数据收集过程的同步上变化。 或者,可以使用与用于干涉测量的相同光源和光路的高时间相干滤波器。

    • Two threshold parameters are used to identify the intensity modulation peaks corresponding to the interfaces of the two sides of a thin film with the adjacent media. The first parameter is used to distinguish modulation data from noise and is set on the basis of actual background noise data measured during the interferometric scan. The second parameter is used to separate actual contrast data from signals of relatively high modulation that satisfy the first parameter but do not in fact result from interference fringes. Data that satisfy both parameters are considered valid modulation data and the peak of each modulation envelope is then calculated using conventional means. The thickness of the film at each pixel is obtained by dividing the scanning distance corresponding to the two peaks by the group index of refraction of the film material.
    • 使用两个阈值参数来识别与相邻介质的薄膜的两侧的界面相对应的强度调制峰值。 第一个参数用于区分调制数据和噪声,并根据干涉扫描期间测量的实际背景噪声数据设置。 第二个参数用于将实际的对比度数据与满足第一个参数的相对较高的调制信号进行分离,但实际上并不是由干扰条纹引起的。 满足这两个参数的数据被认为是有效的调制数据,然后使用常规方法计算每个调制包络的峰值。 通过将对应于两个峰的扫描距离除以膜材料的折射率折射率来获得每个像素处的膜的厚度。

    • Interferometric measurements are carried out in conventional manner to produce a correlogram corresponding to successive scanner steps. An approximation of the actual scan-step size between frames is calculated from multiple-frame intensity data collected around the frame of interest using common irradiance algorithms. The scan-step size so measured is then used in standard PSI, VSI or PSIOTF algorithms, instead of the scanner's nominal phase step. According to one embodiment, the invention utilizes a five-frame PSI algorithm to produce an average scan-step size of four scan steps. According to another embodiment, the phase step between frames is calculated directly utilizing a novel five-frame algorithm that produces an approximation of actual phase step for a given frame, rather than an average value of four steps around the frame. The method requires reduced data processing and can advantageously be applied “on-the fly” as intensity data are acquired during scanning.
    • 以常规方式进行干涉测量以产生对应于连续的扫描器步骤的相关图。 使用共同的辐照算法,从感兴趣的帧周围的多帧强度数据计算帧之间的实际扫描步长的近似值。 然后将如此测量的扫描步长用于标准PSI,VSI或PSIOTF算法,而不是扫描仪的标称相位步长。 根据一个实施例,本发明利用五帧PSI算法来产生四个扫描步骤的平均扫描步长。 根据另一个实施例,直接利用新的五帧算法来计算帧之间的相位步长,该算法产生给定帧的实际相位步长的近似值,而不是围绕该帧的四个步长的平均值。 该方法需要减少数据处理,并且可以有利地在扫描期间获取强度数据时“即时”地应用该方法。

    • Bat wings are removed at step discontinuities within the coherence length of the light source of a vertical-scanning interferometer. A first height profile is obtained from a correlogram using a coherence-sensing technique. A second height profile is obtained from phase measurements at the best-focus frame position of the scanner. The two profiles are compared, and phase ambiguities are removed in conventional manner. In addition, during unwrapping the differences in height between two adjacent pixels obtained both by coherence sensing and by phase measurements are compared to f&lgr;/4. Where the inter-pixel height difference calculated by coherence sensing is smaller and the inter-pixel height difference calculated by phase is larger than f&lgr;/4, the phase measurement is corrected by 2&pgr; increments until both coherence and phase inter-pixel height differences are within f&lgr;/4. This additional step removes bat-wing effects from profiles obtained by phase measurement.
    • 在垂直扫描干涉仪的光源的相干长度内的步骤不连续处去除蝙蝠翅膀。 使用相干感测技术从相关图获得第一高度分布。 从扫描仪的最佳对焦帧位置的相位测量获得第二高度分布。 比较两个轮廓,并以常规方式去除相位模糊度。 另外,在展开期间,通过相干感测和相位测量获得的两个相邻像素之间的高度差与flambd / 4进行比较。 在通过相干感测计算的像素间高差比较小并且由相位计算出的像素间高差大于flambd / 4的情况下,相位测量被校正2pi增量,直到相干和相位之间的像素间高差都在 flambd / 4。 此附加步骤通过相位测量从剖面中删除蝙蝠翼效应。
