Ellipsometry

Ellipsometer SE 402
(Sentech Instruments GmbH, Berlin)

The ellipsometer delivers information about the surface modification (thickness) of substrates

  • red He-Ne laser with a wavelength 632.8 nm is used
  • incident angle of the laser measures at 70°
  • After the sample surface is reached, the reflected light passes through the analyzer and drops onto a photo multiplier, which operates as a detector
  • The control of the ellipsometer and the data evaluation requires special software
