An automatic imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer for characterization of nano‐film pattern on solid substrate
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: In order to characterize the physical and spatial properties of nano‐film pattern on solid substrates, an automatic imaging spectroscopic ellipsometer (ISE) based on a polarizer ‐ compensator ‐ specimen ‐ analyzer configuration in the visible region is presented. It can provide the spectroscopic ellipsometric parameters ψ (x, y, λ) and Δ (x, y, λ) of a large area specimen with a lateral resolution in the order of some microns. A SiO2 stepped layers pattern is used to demonstrate the function of the ISE which shows potential application in thin film devices such as high‐throughput bio‐chips.
