Abstract

We propose an acousto-optic technique for the nondestructive evaluation of adhesion properties of a Pt/Ti thin-film interface. Since there are some problems encountered when using prevailing techniques to nondestructively evaluate the interfacial properties of micro/nano-scale thin-films, we applied an interferometer that combined the acoustic and optical methods. This technique is based on the Michelson interferometer but the resultant surface of the thin film specimen makes interference instead of the mirror when the interface is excited from the acoustic transducer at the driving frequency. The thin film shows resonance-like behavior at a certain frequency range, resulting in a low-contrast fringe pattern. Therefore, we represented quantitatively the change in fringe pattern as a frequency spectrum and discovered the possibility that the interfacial adhesion properties of a thin film can be evaluated using the newly proposed technique.

본 연구에서는 Pt/Ti 박막과 기판 사이 계면의 접합특성을 비파괴적으로 평가하는 acousto-optic 기법을 제안한다. 현재 상용화된 기술만으로 마이크로/나노 스케일의 박막을 평가하는데 많은 어려움이 있기 때문에 미세구조 변화에 민감한 광학기술과 음향기술이 결합된 간섭계를 적용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 사용한 기법은 마이켈슨 간섭계를 기반으로 하며, 거울에 의한 광 경로차 대신 박막시험편 계면의 진동 영향에 따라 발생하는 간섭현상을 분석하였다. 박막시험편은 특정 주파수에서 공진과 유사한 현상을 보이고 이로 인해 프린지 패턴의 콘트라스트가 낮아지므로, 각 주파수 대역별 프린지 패턴 변화를 스펙트럼 결과로 정량화하여 제안된 기법을 이용한 박막의 접합특성 평가 가능성을 확인하였다.
