BACKGROUND

NIST is constructing a custom Time Domain Thermoreflectance (TDTR) instrument. In TDTR, a pump and a probe laser are concentrically focused on the sample: a modulated, pulsed pump laser heats the sample; and a delayed, pulsed probe beam interrogates the thermal properties of thin film or multilayered materials as a function of the probe delay time. In a TR measurement, the sample of interest is coated with an Au or Al transducer film that has a large coefficient of TR at the probe laser wavelength. The Coefficient of TR is a physical property that relates a material-s change in temperature to the resulting change in optical reflectance. The modulated pump laser creates a periodic change in sample temperature, which creates an identical periodic change in the reflectance of the probe beam. In this two color TDTR, two separate pump lasers at different wavelengths will be used to selectively measure both Au and Al transducer coated samples. The pump and probe lasers are coaxially aligned and focused on the sample of interest using an objective lens. The sample must be translated precisely into the focal plane of the objective (Tz axis), and the tip-tilt (Rx and Ry axis rotation angles) of the sample must also be adjusted to properly reflect the probe beam back through the objective. In addition, translation in the x and y directions is required for 2D property mapping. Hexapods are kinematic devices uniquely capable of simultaneously, precisely, and stably controlling 6 degrees of freedom: Translation in Tx, Ty, and Tx, and Rotation in Rx, Ry, and Rz. Hexapods are also dimensionally more compact than any combination of 6 individual linear and rotary motion stages.

The TDTR instrument will enable NIST to uniquely measure the in situ thermal propertie...
