Compact ellipsometer employing a static polarimeter module with arrayed polarizer and wave-plate elements

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A portable ellipsometer with a compact static polarimeter using an arrayed polarizer, an arrayed wave plate, and a CCD image sensor is developed. A high level of repeatability at a measurement speed of 0.3 s is demonstrated by measurement of SiO2 films ranging from 2 to 300  nm in thickness deposited on an Si wafer. There is the potential to realize an ultracompact ellipsometer module by integrating the optical source and receiver, suitable for deployment in a variety of manufacturing equipment and measurement instruments.
