Moir Methods
Moir = The French name fro a fabric called water silk, fabric
Exhibits patterns of light/dark bands
Moir Fringes: or the Moir effect refers to light/dark bands seen
By superimposing two nearly identical arrays of lines or dots
In most basic form, Moir methods are used to measure
Displacement fields; either
- in plane displacement
- out of plane
w.wang
Geometric Moir
Moir effect is the mechanical interference of light by superimposed
network of lines.
The pattern of broad dark lines that is observed is called a moir
pattern.

Sub-micron Lithography
1. Optical Lithography-using lenses to reduce a mask image onto target
(smallest feature size~ .25m)
Phase shift, phase edge or overexpose/overdevelop 0.1m
Phase grating mask interference (near-field holography)- minimize 0th order
Diffraction and emphasize + 1 orders interferences. period of
standing wave = of period of phase grating mask
2. X -ray lithography requires mask made by EBL resolution ~ .25m
3. Ion beam lithography- damage from ion bombardment limited on
Film thickness, advantages no proximity effect so line width control
Is good. Possibility of ion beam assisted etching.
4. EBL- 50nm (NTU) 20nm (UW)

E-beam process
Problem- difficult to achieve accurate pattern placement
Large area patterns are formed by stitching together mosaic of small fields
or stripes. Are within each field is accessed by deflecting the focus beam,
while successive fields are written by moving the substrate.
Field distortion: Thermal expansion, charging, beam current
and focus drift,
Stiching error
Solution- spatial phase locked e beam lithography, pre exposed film with
interference pattern which generates a spatial reference pattern

This is the form of a third family of straight lines, of the general form:

The distance between two moir fringes, d is
d = |C| /(A2 +B2)0.5 = pp / (p2sin2 + (p pcos)2 )0.5 (5)

Pitch Mismatch
Difference of pitch between the model and master grills will cause
Moir fringes to form even though the model is unstrained.
Let = 0, p = original pitch for the model grating, p =pitch of master

Super Moir
Superimpose of two identical moir patterns
To apply moir of moir:
a) Load specimen/obtain Moir patterns representing ux, uy
Superimposed two identical moir patterns (Nxx, Nxy, Nyx, Nyy are superfringe orders)
One pattern shifted to a known amount in x or y directions (sxx,sxy,syx,syy)
b) Plot fringes versus position
c) Take the slope of the plot at each point at which strain is required
dux/dy = p Nxy / sxy
dux/dx = p Nxx / sxx
duy/dy = p Nyx / syx
duy/dx = p Nyy / syy
First subscript represents the direction perpendicular to the grating lines
and the second to the direction of the shift
d) Calculate strains using general form of strain displacement relation

Fringe multiplication
(increase fringe formation)
by having two different frequency gratings, we can increase
the number of the moir fringes produced by the same
loading if original gratings were same period
i.e. If original gratings are both 10lnes/mm and gets 4
fringes after loading, then is one of the gratings increase its
frequency to 50lines/mm, we will get 20 fringes. 5 times the
original gratings configuration

The shadow of mth order lines are spread over the expanse of m+1th lines of grating,
Let be the z distance between the master and specimen over the same expanse,

If there are N moir fringes between the same expanse, where fringes are
observed at normal incidence,

First exposure is made with specimen at its initial state which taken at unloaded position.
Grating Q is reflected from point P
2.
Plate is then deformed, now point P on plate has moved to point P, which approximately
the same location on the film as point P.Because of the curvature, grating element Q is
now superimposed on this image point in the second exposure.
The moir pattern formed by superposition of the two images provide a measure of the shift. The
shift in terms of local slope of the plate is given as,
s = 2d
Where s = magnitude of shift
= local slope of plate at P
d= distance between plate and grating
The order of moir fringe can be expressed as
N = 2d/ or = Np/2d
d should be large to minimize the effects of out-of-plane displacement w on the shift distance s
