Spectrum Ellipsometer FE-5000/5000S

Automatic angle adjusting mechanism in addition to the basic spectrum ellipsometry system enables high accurate film thickness measurement for variety of thicknesses. Detachable retarder and rotating analyzer also widens the scope of choices available to measure as well as improves the measurement accuracy.

Principle

Ellipsometry measures change of polarization upon reflection light (elliptically polarized) when linear polarized light is irradiated to the sample. As s and p wave changes its phases and reflection amplitudes individually depending on the sample, amplitude ratio “tanψ” and phase difference “cosΔ” which quantify the polarization change can be obtained .

tanψ, cosΔ is called “Ellipso-parameter” and the spectrum of these are measured in Spectrum Ellipsometry.

ITO Structure Analysis using Gradient Model --- Application note FE0006

ITO (indium-tin-oxide) is the transparent electrode material that is used for flat display like a LCD display. The electrical conductivity and color hue of ITO are improved by annealing treatment (heat treatment) after its film formation. At that time, the oxygen state and the crystalline state of ITO will change. This change tends to gain the slope change in stages with respect to film thickness and it does not become a single layer with uniform composition optically. We’d like to introduce a case of the measurement of degree of inclination of both upper and lower surface’s nk with using the gradient model.
