Spectral polarimetry technique as a complementary tool to ellipsometry of dielectric films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ellipsometry is a highly sensitive optical technique for coating characterization but usually presents multiple solutions in many cases. To prevent these, a method with addition of a spectral polarimetric technique is proposed. An initial film dispersion curve, independently of its physical thickness, is then provided using the same setup as spectral ellipsometry and at the same sample position, which later is used for thickness determination and dispersion refinement with increase of reliability of results. Characterization of thin TiO2 films with one and two ellipsometric solutions is shown to corroborate the validity of the proposed method.

بررسی ثابت دی الکتریک لایه نازک SiO2با استفاده از آزمون بیضی سنجی
In this paper, we studied the optical behavior of SiO2 thin films prepared via sol-gel route using spin coating deposition from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as precursor. Thin films were annealed at different temperatures (400-600oC). Absorption edge and band gap of thin layers were measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometery. Optical refractive index and dielectric constant were measured by ell...

متن کاملOptical constant of CoFeB thin film measured with interference enhancement method
Optical constants (n and k) of Co20Fe60B20 (CoFeB) thin films (2~40nm) are measured by using interference enhancement method with spectroscopic ellipsometry in the wavelength range of 270~1600nm. The effects of film thickness, protection layer and annealing process on the optical constant of CoFeB film are investigated. In the range of 40~10nm, both n and k decrease with the decrease of thickne...
متن کاملThe Anisotropic Dielectric Function for Copper Phthalocyanine Thin Films
Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin films were prepared by organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD) in high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum on passivated Si(111) using β-phase CuPc as source material. The substrates were kept at room temperature during the deposition. The IR peak positions indicate that the films consist mainly of α-phase CuPc, while the relative intensities suggest that the films a...
