Thin film analyzer Filmetrics F20 UVX

Back

The Filmetrics F20 UVX is used to measure the thickness (t) and optical constants (n and k). Measured films must be optically smooth. Commonly analyzed films include oxides, nitrides, resist, poly silicon and optical coatings. The measurement is like a simple ellipsometer with a wavelength scan but under 1 perpendicular angle. The measured light reflection is fitted with by an iteration process for t, n and k. Because the fix angle we have to apply input assumptions for the fitting.
