Optical waveform observing apparatus including a sampling streak tube to which is applied an incident light beam having a waveform to be observed. An electron beam corresponding to the incident light beam is repetitively deflected in the streak tube, in response to a repetitive deflecting trigger signal, to sample the electron beam. The repetitive deflection of the electron beam is periodically stopped for a first time period. An integration circuit integrates data outputted by the streak tube. A subtraction circuit subtracts the integration of streak tube data outputted during the first time period from the integration of streak tube data outputted during a second time period when the repetitive beam deflection is not stopped, so that background noise and dark currents are not included in the subtraction result.

The film thickness analysis section 40 obtains a value corresponding to a peak wavelength where the intensity of interfering light generated by the reflected light from the upper surface and the reflected light from the lower surface interfering with each other is maximized or minimized or an interval of the adjacent peak wavelengths based on spectral waveforms of the output light detected at mutually different time points T1, T2, and obtains a temporal change in film thickness d of the semiconductor film 15 from a temporal change in the value. Thus, a film thickness measurement apparatus and a film thickness measurement method are realized by which, even with such a minute amount of relative change in film thickness as to be less than one peak period of the interfering light intensity, the amount of change in film thickness can be accurately measured.

摘要:
At each measurement time, measurement light is supplied from a measurement light source 11, and interference light obtained when reflected light from a semiconductor wafer W and reference light from a reference light generating section 14 are coupled is detected by a photodetector 15. A thickness calculating section 16 obtains a light intensity distribution representing the correlation between the light intensity of the interference light and the reference optical path length, selects a wafer upper surface peak and wafer lower surface peak from a plurality of light intensity peaks in the light intensity distribution using a predetermined selection criterion, and calculates the thickness of the semiconductor wafer W from the optical path length difference between the light intensity peaks. With this arrangement, a thickness measuring apparatus and thickness measuring method capable of measuring the thickness of a semiconductor wafer during execution of wet etching independently of the presence of an etchant, and a wet etching apparatus and wet etching method using the thickness measuring apparatus and method are implemented.
