The Complex Refractive Index and Reflectometry versus Ellipsometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Refractive index (RI) is a complex number comprising a real refractive index and an imaginary part: the absorption (or extinction) coefficient. The analysis of refractive index by the Surfoptic Imaging Reflectometer yields an approximation to the real part of the refractive index. The well established technique of ellipsometry, by contrast, can determine both the real refractive index and the extinction coefficient.

Measurements of the complex refractive index of Pd and Pt films in air and upon adsorption of H2 gas
We present complex refractive index measurements of Pd and Pt films from 700-1700nm using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. Refractive index changes upon H2 gas adsorption were determined by measuring normal incidence reflection and transmission. Keywords-ellipsometry, refractive index, extinction coefficient, thin film, palladium, platinum, hydrogen, gas sensors
متن کاملNeutron reflectometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry studies of cross-linked poly(dimethylsiloxane) after irradiation at 172 nm.
Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was irradiated under ambient conditions in air with a Xe2-excimer lamp. The formation of atomic oxygen and ozone during irradiation in air by V-UV photons results in the transformation of PDMS to silicon oxide. The irradiated surfaces were studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry and neutron reflectometry. The measurements revealed the formation of a rough, i.e., betw...
متن کاملEllipsometry on sputter-deposited tin oxide films: optical constants versus stoichiometry, hydrogen content, and amount of electrochemically intercalated lithium.
Tin oxide thin films were deposited by reactive radio-frequency magnetron sputtering onto In(2)O(3):Sn-coated and bare glass substrates. Optical constants in the 3002500-nm wavelength range were determined by a combination of variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry and spectrophotometric transmittance measurements. Surface roughness was modeled from optical measurements and compared with atom...
متن کاملIn-Situ Optical Metrology of Polycrystalline Silicon
Accurate characterization of polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) is not only a critical monitoring technique for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process control, but also a necessity for gate line-width control in i-line/DUV lithography and dry etching. It requires that the thickness, refractive index and extinction coefficients (from DUV to near red) in polysilicon films be precisely and rap...

Ellipsometric measurements in a wide spectral range (from 0.05 to 6.5 eV) have been carried out on the organic semiconducting polymer, poly[2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylene] (MDMO-PPV), in both undoped and doped states. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function and the refractive index are determined accurately, provided that the layer thickness is measu...
