Progress in spectroscopic ellipsometry: Applications from vacuum ultraviolet to infrared

Spectroscopic ellipsometry ͑SE͒ is a noncontact and nondestructive optical technique for thin film characterization. In the past 10 yr, it has migrated from the research laboratory into the semiconductor, data storage, display, communication, and optical coating industries. The wide acceptance of SE is a result of its flexibility to measure most material types: dielectrics, semiconductors, metals...

Spectroscopic ellipsometry of metal phthalocyanine thin films.

Optical functions of cobalt phthalocyanine, nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), and iron phthalocyanine (FePc) have been determined by use of spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range 1.55-4.1 eV (300-800 nm). The samples were prepared by evaporation onto glass and silicon substrates. The optical functions were determined by point-to-point fit. Absorption spectra were also measured. The index-...

Optical Monitoring of Thin-films Using Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) offers a precise technique for measuring thin film properties. Advanced SE instrumentation has been demonstrated as an excellent technique for monitoring the growth of optical films for sputtering applications. We have recently extended this technique for PVD E-gun evaporated films. In this paper we will show how an SE system was integrated into a standard optica...

Optical characterization in the vacuum ultraviolet with Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry: 157 nm and below

As device feature sizes shrink below 0.18 μm, shorter wavelength exposure tools are being investigated to meet the requirements for higher resolution. Understanding the optical properties of thin films and substrate materials at short wavelengths (193 nm, 157 nm, and shorter) will be necessary to develop the lithographic process. Variable Angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VASE) offers nondestru...

Numerical algorithm for spectroscopic ellipsometry of thick transparent films.

We present a numerical method for spectroscopic ellipsometry of thick transparent films. When an analytical expression for the dispersion of the refractive index (which contains several unknown coefficients) is assumed, the procedure is based on fitting the coefficients at a fixed thickness. Then the thickness is varied within a range (according to its approximate value). The final result given...
