Abstract

A highly sensitive laser probe for photo-acoustic displacement(PAD) has been developed and applied to the monitoring of low-level lattice damage in semiconductors. Since a photodisplacement laser probe with the sensitivity of 0.1 picometers is employed in this measurement, lower density damage for instance, formed by 50 keV B+ implantation with a dose of 5X109 ions/cm2 can be detected. Correlation of the PAD with damage density was obtained in B+ implantation. Therefore, quantitative damage density can be obtained from the relation for lightly damaged layers, such as formed by chemomechanical polishing and by electron cyclotron resonance plasma etching. This technique is useful-for monitoring of low damage density surface.
