Ellipsometry and Reflectometry

FilmTek 3000

Combined reflection-transmission spectrophotometry for unpatterned absorbing films on transparent substrates

FilmTek 3000

The FilmTek™ 3000 reflection-transmission spectrophotometer offers users a reliable, efficient, single-instrument solution for characterizing unpatterned thin films deposited on transparent substrates, particularly very thin absorbing films like those used in LED/OLED, solar photovoltaic, and flat panel display applications.

 

This system combines DUV-NIR fiber-optic spectrophotometers with proprietary dispersion and material modeling capabilities in a single fully automated, high-efficiency instrument. This design enables simultaneous collection of the reflection and transmission data needed to investigate the properties and uniformity of unpatterned absorbing thin films. The FilmTek 3000 is consequently able to overcome multiple R&D and manufacturing challenges associated with these films.

 

Optional capabilities and hardware can be added to this system to support more specialized measurement requirements, including polarimetry measurements and large-scale automated sample stages to support flat panel display applications.
