Abstract
Two interference techniques for measuring the surface profile of extended samples from 60 to 200 mm in length have been developed. The profile is reconstructed by gluing separate frames taken with overlapping. It has been found that the angular reproducibility of the reconstructed profile in both techniques is less than 10 μrad, which corresponds to a profile height difference of about 10 nm. When measuring surfaces with curvature radii R > 1 m, it is recommended to use the stitching technique on a Zygo Verifire 4 highly coherent interferometer, which provides a complete surface map. For surfaces with curvature radii R < 1 m, only the stitching technique on a SuperView W1 white light interferometer is suitable. For particularly important measurements, it is advisable to use both methods to achieve maximum measurement accuracy. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches in the field of interference metrological control.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
