Title:
FILM-SHAPE ACQUISITION DEVICE AND FILM-SHAPE ACQUISITION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/117603
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In this film-shape acquisition device (1), in an optical model (8) for a silicon film (86) formed on a substrate (9) having a plurality of texture convexities (870) on the top surface (871) thereof, the following are set: thin-film concavities (865) corresponding to the plurality of texture convexities (870); and thin-film convexities (860) located thereabove. Each parameter in a set of parameters representing the shapes of the thin-film convexities (860), the thin-film concavities (865), and the middle part between the thin-film convexities (860) and the thin-film concavities (865) is then expressed in terms of an effective film thickness, and by changing the parameter values by changing the effective film thickness, a theoretical spectrum is fitted to a measured spectrum. This makes it possible to easily and precisely obtain the shape of the silicon film (86).
