Evaluation of optical properties using spectroscopic ellipsometry

Evaluation of optical properties using
spectroscopic ellipsometry
1. Features
Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) provides dielectric
constants (refractive index) and film thicknesses.
Detector
Features of our facility:
- Wavelength regions (193 nm to 1700 nm)
- Minimum beam diameter 500 mmf
Usually, about 2 to 3 mmf
- Equipped with the 300mm wafer stage
- Depth profile and anisotropy analysis
