The LGEMP can be used with a manual nulling ellipsometer such as the model L, and it is also available for our 2 and 3 wavelength ellipsometers models.
Gaertner Scientific Corporation – What’s New
In addition, the waveplate mechanism on the polarizer arm, is eliminated. Sub-Angstrom over most of the measurement range. The wafer is held on the optically flat table by vacuum. All Solid State with no moving parts. An outstanding feature is the Stokes Ellipsometer’s compensation for small changes in angular beam deviation caused by sample thickness changes.
The 4×4 instrument matrix A must be nonsingular, which requires that the planes of incidence for the first three detector surfaces are all different. The 4×4 instrument matrix A must be nonsingular, ellipskmeter requires that the planes of incidence for the first three detector surfaces are all different. The space-saving design features a small footprint yet it can accommodate large samples up to mm wide.
For a given arrangement of four detectors, A can either be computed or determined by calibration.
Gaertner Scientific Corporation – Ellipsometers – Stokes Ellipsometer LSE
From thin gate oxides only tens of angstroms thick to thick polyimides and photoresists Gaertner has earned a reputation for providing precise, reliable results. The oldest measurement method is manual nulling which requires rotating the polarizer and analyzer circles until the reflected beam from the sample is extinguished. For a given arrangement elllipsometer four detectors, A can either be computed or determined by calibration. LS can be equipped with the following laser options: Manually adjusted tilt and table height using the computer alignment screen.
The units’ simple robust design offers ease of use at lowcost.

As with any bright source faertner as the sun or arc lamp, the operator should not stare directly into the laser beam or into its reflection from highly reflecting surfaces. In addition, ellipsometric measurements are insensitive to intensity ellipsomwter of the source, temperature drifts of electronic components, and macroscopic roughness which can be a serious problem in reflectometry but not in ellipsometry, for which absolute intensity measurements are not required.
Measures complete state of polarization useful for rough,scattering samples.
Gaertner Scientific LSE-WS Stokes WaferSkan Ellipsometer
Precision of measurement is further enhanced by the use of a stable, spectrally precise, high signal to noise HeNe laser ellipsometet source. These instruments are factory refurbished and sold with a full 1 year warranty.
The white lines is a region of Autofix Nf1 where the index cannot be easily resolved. In addition, the L-SCAT scatter option includes a hardware modification to capture more of the scattered light from rough, textured surfaces and a program display ellipsometerr the degree of polarization P.
When measuring similar wafers, tilt-free, focus-free operation is the obvious benefit.
Simple, compact tabletop instrument – competitively priced. The light beam, the state of polarization of which is to be determined, strikes, at oblique angles of incidence, three photodetector eolipsometer in succession, each gaertnsr which is partially spectrally reflecting and each of which generates an electrical signal proportional to the fraction of the radiation it absorbs.
This fact permits the film refractive index to be measured in addition to the film thickness. The variable angle capability determines thicker film thickness and gives refractive index measurements over a wider thickness range. From thin gate oxides only tens of angstroms thick gaettner thick polyimides and photoresists Gaertner has earned a reputation for providing precise, reliable results.
The LS with a manual hand positioning stage makes measurements of film thickness and film refractive index in milliseconds.
Fastest possible instrument for thin film measurement. Similar wafers are automatically scanned with a single mouse click.
Gaertner L117 Ellipsometer
A fourth photodetector is substantially totally light absorptive and detects the elljpsometer of the light. An outstanding feature is the Stokes Ellipsometer’s compensation for small changes in angular beam deviation caused by sample out-of-flatness; thus permitting fast, uninterrupted measurement over the entire wafer surface without the need to pause to correct for focus and elilpsometer. An outstanding feature is the Stokes Ellipsometer’s compensation for small changes in angular gaetrner deviation caused by sample out-of-flatness.
Ellipsometry is superior to alternate methods of thin film measurement such as reflectometry because two parameters DELTA and PSI instead of one intensity are independently determined in any single measurement.
Keep in mind however that some samples are simply too rough and scatter too much light to be measured ellipsometrically.
Accurate, stable measurements using spectrally precise laser ellipsometry. One second per point including stage travel. This relationship is mathematically stated as the fundamental equation of ellipsometry: The measuring polarized light can range from the ultra violet to the Infrared. The 8″ sample table can accept up to mm wafers and has mm left to right cross travel and can be ellipsometerr read to 1 mm.

Fastest possible instrument for thin film measurement. Simple, compact tabletop instrument – competitively priced. Vacuum held requires 5 inch Hg.
