1 llipsometry Data Analysis: a Tutorial G.. Jellison, Jr. Solid State Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory WIS University of Michigan May 8-9,

2 Motivation The Opportunity: Spectroscopic llipsometry (S is sensitive to many parameters of interest to thin-film science, such as Film thickness Interfaces Optical functions (n and k. But S data is not meaningful by itself. Therefore One must model the near-surface region to get useful information.

3 Outline Data representations Calculation of reflection from thin films Modeling of optical functions (n and k Fitting ellipsometry data xamples

4 Introduction What we measure: Stokes Vector of a light beam lc rc o o I I I I I I I V U Q I S I o (Q + U + V / To transform one Stokes vector to another: S out M S in M Mueller matrix (4X4 real

5 Introduction What we measure: light source PSG PSD p p s φ s Sample Detector Intensity of beam at the detector S T PSD M S PSG The matrix M includes: Sample reflection characteristics Intervening optics (windows and lenses

6 Introduction Isotropic Reflector: p in p out s in s out Isotropic reflector Mueller Matrix: M reflector N cos(ψ N S sin(ψ sin( C sin(ψ cos( N + S + C N C S S C

7 Introduction What we calculate: light source PSG PSD p p s φ s Sample Detector J o i o i rpp rps Ê p/ Ê p Ê s / Ê p o i o i rsp rss Ê p/ Ê s Ê s / Ê s ρ ρsp ρ i tan( ψ e i tan( ψ sp e ps rss sp tan( ψ ps e i ps. There is no difference between Mueller and Jones IF there is no depolarization!

10 Calculation of Reflection Coefficients Single Interface: Fresnel quations (83: φ φ r ñ cos( φ pp ñ cos( φ + ñ ñ cos( cos( φ φ r ñ cos( φ ss ñ cos( φ + ñ ñ cos( φ cos( φ Snell s Law (6: ξ ñ sin φ ñ sin φ.

11 Calculation of Reflection Coefficients Two Interfaces: Airy Formula (833: r pp, ss r, pp, ss + r +, pp, ss r, pp, ss r, pp, ss exp( ib exp( ib πd b λ f ñ f cos( φ f

12 Calculation of Reflection Coefficients Three or more interfaces: Abeles Matrices (95: Represent each layer by Abeles matrices: P, pp cos( b ñ i sin( b cos( φ cos( φ i sin( b ñ cos( b P, ss iñ cos( b cos( φ sin( b i sin( b ñ cos( φ cos( b Matrix multiply: M N pp χ, pp( P, pp χsub, pp M ss χ N, ss P, ss ( χ sub, ss

13 Calculation of Reflection Coefficients Three or more interfaces: Abeles Matrices: Substrate and ambient characteristic matrices: χ cos( ñ φ φ, pp cos( ñ χ, ss ñ ñ cos( φ cos( φ χ cos( φ ñ sub, pp sub sub χ sub ss ñsub cos( φ, sub Final Reflection coefficients: r pp M M, pp, pp r ss M M, ss, ss

14 Calculation of Reflection Coefficients Anisotropic materials: X Abeles matrices become one 4X4 Berreman matrix (97 Reason: s- and p- polarization states are no longer eigenstates of the reflection. Inhomogeneous layers: If a layer has a depth-dependent refractive index, there are two options: Build up many very thin layers Use interpolation approximations

15 Models for dielectric functions Tabulated Data Sets: Usually good for substrates Not good for thin films 3 ven for substrates: problems a surface roughness b surface reconstruction c surface oxides 4 Most tabulated data sets do not include error limits Measured optical functions of silicon depend on the face!

19 Models for dielectric functions Models for Crystalline materials: Critical points, excitons, etc. in the optical spectra make this a very difficult problem! Collections of Lorentz oscillators: ε ( ε o + A e i φ + iγ Can end up with MANY terms

22 Calculation Procedure: Fitting Models to Data Assume a model. a. Number of layers b. Layer type (isotropic, anisotropic, graded Determine or parameterize the optical functions of each layer 3 Select reasonable starting parameters. 4 Fit the data, using a suitable algorithm and Figure of Merit 5 Determine correlated errors in z and cross correlation coefficients If the Figure of Merit indicates a bad fit (e.g. χ >>, go back to.

23 Fitting Models to Data fitting of parameters is not the end-all of parameter estimation. To be genuinely useful, a fitting procedure should provide (i parameters, (ii error estimates on the parameters, and (iii a statistical measure of goodness-of-fit. When the third item suggests that the model is an unlikely match to the data, then items (i and (ii are probably worthless. Unfortunately, many practitioners of parameter estimation never proceed beyond item (i. They deem a fit acceptable if a graph of data and model looks good. This approach is known as chi-by-eye. Luckily, its practitioners get what they deserve. Press, Teukolsky, Vettering, and Flannery, Numerical Recipes ( nd ed., Cambridge, 99, Ch. 5, pg. 65.

38 Parting Thoughts S is a powerful technique, but modeling is critical. Modeling should use an error-based figure of merit Does the model fit the data? Calculate correlated errors and cross-correlation coefficients. When used properly, S gives very accurate thicknesses and values of the complex dielectric function.
