Public, hidden, and forensic features either encoded or directly legible are used for authentication. Fabry-Perot layer stacks as information carriers in combination with imaging ellipsometry as optical read-out system provide all-in-one anti-counterfeiting capability that may establish the new security level 'encoded forensic'. Different layer designs are described with regard to all three security levels: public features (e.g. color and tilt effect) perceptible by the human eye, hidden features (e.g. spectroscopic response in the UV or IR), and forensic features (ellipsometric quantities Ψ and Δ as a function of wavelength λ and angle of incidence AOI). Physically uncloneable functions (PUF) could be realized as a result of a multi-material and a multi-parameter deposition approach as well as by means of specific design features of the Fabry-Perot layer stack. Hence, they are not subject to any reverse engineering strategies. Examples of stratified, micro-structured, and laser-modified Fabry-Perot layer systems are considered that may be used at all perception levels (e.g. human eye, bar code reader, and imaging ellipsometry) for authentication against product counterfeiting and related areas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zur Authentifizierung werden offene, versteckte und forensische Merkmale entweder codiert oder direkt auslesbar verwendet. Mit Fabry-Perot Schichtsystemen als Informationsträger in Kombination mit der abbildenden Ellipsometrie als optischem Auslesesystem steht ein 'all-in-one' Fälschungsschutz-System zur Verfügung, das ein neues Sicherheitsniveau 'kodiert-forensisch' darstellt. Es werden unterschiedliche Schichtdesigns beschrieben, mit denen alle drei Sicherheitsniveaus realisiert werden können: offene Merkmale (z.B. Farbe und Kippeffekt), die mit dem menschlichen Auge wahrnehmbar sind, versteckte Merkmale (z.B. die spektrale Antwort im Sichtbaren oder im IR) sowie forensische Merkmale (ellipsometrische Größen Ψ und Δ als Funktion der Wellenlänge λ und des Einfallswinkels AOI).
Physikalisch nicht klonbare Funktionen (PUF) können im Ergebnis einer Multi-Material- und Multi-Parameter Beschichtungsstrategie sowie durch spezifische Design-Merkmale des Fabry-Perot Schichtsystems realisiert werden. Folglich sind solche Schichtsysteme dem 'reverse engineering' nicht zugänglich. Es werden Beispiele für lateral ausgedehnte, mikrostrukturierte und Laser modifizierte Schichtsysteme auf verschiedenen Ausleseniveaus (menschliches Auge, Barcode-Lesegerät, abbildendes Ellipsometer) vorgestellt, die zur Authentifizierung von Produkten und verwandte Gebiete geeignet sind.
Hydrogen-Containing Amorphous Carbon Layers as Optical Materials in the Near-IR Spectral Range
(2007)
Hydrogenated amorphous carbon layers were deposited on various substrates by means of a plasma CVD process with a RF substrate bias as well as an ECR plasma source. The optical properties of the a-C:H layers were obtained via spectroscopic ellipsometry and correlated with their mechanical and chemical properties. The layers from pure RF plasma exhibit a higher absorption constant in the visible spectral range and a higher refractive index. All layers are nearly transparent in the NIR spectral range making them candidates for optical thin layer systems. The laser damage behaviour of the a-C:H layers was investigated with ultrashort pulses. The damage thresholds were consistent with the absorption constants of the layers. Interesting damage morphologies were observed indicating a sensitivity of this experiment to sub-structures in the layer.
The present study investigates the use of imaging and mapping ellipsometry to determine the properties of non-ideal and patterned thin film samples. Samples which are candidates for future references and standards were prepared for this purpose. The samples investigated were lithographically patterned SiO2 and photoresist layers. The thickness and the optical constants of the two materials were determined using spectroscopic ellipsometry in the visible spectral range. On a larger lateral scale of several mm lateral resolution, the homogeneity was investigated using a goniospectral rotating compensator ellipsometer. A nulling imaging ellipsometer was used to determine the properties of the sample on a smaller scale of 25–150 µm.
Using ultrafast X-ray diffraction, we study the coherent picosecond lattice dynamics of photoexcited thin films in the two limiting cases, where the photoinduced stress profile decays on a length scale larger and smaller than the film thickness. We solve a unifying analytical model of the strain propagation for acoustic impedance-matched opaque films on a semi-infinite transparent substrate, showing that the lattice dynamics essentially depend on two parameters: One for the spatial profile and one for the amplitude of the strain. We illustrate the results by comparison with high-quality ultrafast X-ray diffraction data of SrRuO3 films on SrTiO3 substrates.
