Ellipsometers and Reflectometers

FilmTek 2000 SE

Multimodal benchtop metrology for unpatterned thin to thick films

FilmTek 2000 SE

The FilmTek™ 2000 SE benchtop spectroscopic ellipsometer/reflectometer expands the versatility of our spectroscopic ellipsometer and reflectometer technology to enable fast, accurate, repeatable measurement of a wider range of unpatterned thin to thick films.

 

Combining our advanced rotating compensator ellipsometer design with DUV multi-angle polarized reflectometry, this multimodal metrology system can collect ellipsometric and multi-angle reflection data from the DUV to NIR on virtually all unpatterned translucent films (<1 Å to 150 µm thick) and achieves enhanced sensitivity and sample compatibility for refractive index measurements. Its multimodal design and DUV reflection measurement capabilities are particularly useful for characterizing ultra-thin layers, enabling it to provide fast, accurate, simultaneous measurement of their thickness, refractive index, and extinction coefficient with greater sensitivity and reproducibility than comparable ellipsometers and reflectometers.

 

FilmTek 2000 SE's extended sample range includes films and multilayers used in electro-optical materials, computer disks, and coated glass. When equipped with optional generalized ellipsometry technology, its sample compatibility also includes arbitrarily aligned, optically uniaxial samples or optically biaxial samples. This makes FilmTek 2000 SE an ideal multi-function solution in academic and R&D settings.
