Ellipsometers and Reflectometers

FilmTek 3000 PAR

Combined reflection-transmission spectrophotometry optimized for highly absorbing patterned thin films

FilmTek 3000 PAR

The FilmTek™ 3000 PAR augments our unique combined reflection-transmission spectrophotometer design to allow the characterization of patterned films deposited on transparent substrates, particularly very thin absorbing films like those used in optical antireflection coatings, laser mirrors, and thin metals, among many others.

 

In addition to full integration with our suite of advanced and proprietary material modeling software and optimization algorithms, this system utilizes our patented parabolic mirror technology to achieve a small spot size (down to 50 µm) and enhance its compatibility with patterned film samples. As a result, FilmTek 3000 PAR provides the same level of performance and data quality for patterned thin film characterization as the FilmTek 3000 provides for unpatterned film samples, making it easy for users to collect precise, simultaneous reflection and transmission measurements on challenging patterned film samples, even those that are highly absorbing in the DUV.
