Ellipsometry and Reflectometry Systems

FilmTek 2000 SE

Multi-angle reflectometry and ellipsometry for advanced thin film and multi-layer mapping on unpatterned films

FilmTek 2000 SE

The FilmTek™ 2000 SE is a benchtop spectroscopic ellipsometer with an automated stage that can accommodate 300mm wafers, allowing for uniformity measurements of thin films. Utilizing an advanced rotating compensator design, the 2000 SE delivers unmatched measurement performance and speed for thin film applications. Our film modeling software and in-house dispersion formula allow for easy data processing, giving accurate and precise real-time results.

Features

Measurement Capabilities

Enables simultaneous determination of:

  • Multiple layer thicknesses
  • Indices of refraction [ n(λ) ]
  • Extinction (absorption) coefficients [ k(λ) ]
  • Energy band gap [ Eg ]

 

  • Composition (e.g., %Ge in SiGex, % Ga in GaxIn1-xAs, %Al in AlxGa1-xAs, etc.)
  • Surface roughness
  • Constituent, void fraction

 

  • Crystallinity/Amorphization (e.g., of Poly-Si or GeSbTe films)
  • Film gradient

System Components

Standard:

  • Spectroscopic ellipsometry with rotating compensator design (300nm-1700nm)
  • Multi-angle, polarized spectroscopic reflection (240nm-1700nm)
  • Measures film thickness and index of refraction independently
  • Automated stage with autofocus
  • Ideal for measuring ultra-thin films (0.03 Å repeatability on native oxide)
  • Advanced material modeling software
  • Bruker's generalized material model with advanced global optimization algorithms

Optional:

  • Generalized ellipsometry (4×4 matrix generalization method) for anisotropy measurements (nx, ny, nz)
Applications

Typical Application Areas

Virtually all translucent films ranging in thickness from less than 1 Å to approximately 150 µm can be measured with high precision.
