Download or read book Ellipsometry for Industrial Applications written by Karl Riedling and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past years, elliposometry, a non-destructive and contact-less optical surface analysis technique, has gained increased importance in industrial areas, such as the technology of electronic devices, when simple instruments, many of them computer-controlled and automated, became available. The potential users of such instruments are, however, frequently aware neither of the inherent possibilities of this technique, nor of its accuracy limitations. This book endeavors to point out some of the less obvious features and possibilities of ellipsometry, particularly of dynamic "in situ" measurements, and reviews its applications in research and manufacturing of semiconductor and thin film devices. A comprehensive discussion of various error effects typical particularly for simple ellipsometers and of their impact on measured sample parameters is provided. Error correction or (numerical) calibration procedures are given wherever possible, and design and operation guidelines for high-speed instruments suitable for dynamic "in situ" measurements are suggested.

Download or read book Spectroscopic Ellipsometry written by Harland G. Tompkins and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellipsometry is an experimental technique for determining the thickness and optical properties of thin films. It is ideally suited for films ranging in thickness from sub-nanometer to several microns. Spectroscopic measurements have greatly expanded the capabilities of this technique and introduced its use into all areas where thin films are found: semiconductor devices, flat panel and mobile displays, optical coating stacks, biological and medical coatings, protective layers, and more. While several scholarly books exist on the topic, this book provides a good introduction to the basic theory of the technique and its common applications. The target audience is not the ellipsometry scholar, but process engineers and students of materials science who are experts in their own fields and wish to use ellipsometry to measure thin film properties without becoming an expert in ellipsometry itself.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Surface Metrology written by Michael Quinten and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a genuinely practical introduction to the most commonly encountered optical and non-optical systems used for the metrology and characterization of surfaces, including guidance on best practice, calibration, advantages and disadvantages, and interpretation of results. It enables the user to select the best approach in a given context. Most methods in surface metrology are based upon the interaction of light or electromagnetic radiation (UV, NIR, IR), and different optical effects are utilized to get a certain optical response from the surface; some of them record only the intensity reflected or scattered by the surface, others use interference of EM waves to obtain a characteristic response from the surface. The book covers techniques ranging from microscopy (including confocal, SNOM and digital holographic microscopy) through interferometry (including white light, multi-wavelength, grazing incidence and shearing) to spectral reflectometry and ellipsometry. The non-optical methods comprise tactile methods (stylus tip, AFM) as well as capacitive and inductive methods (capacitive sensors, eddy current sensors). The book provides: Overview of the working principles Description of advantages and disadvantages Currently achievable numbers for resolutions, repeatability, and reproducibility Examples of real-world applications A final chapter discusses examples where the combination of different surface metrology techniques in a multi-sensor system can reasonably contribute to a better understanding of surface properties as well as a faster characterization of surfaces in industrial applications. The book is aimed at scientists and engineers who use such methods for the measurement and characterization of surfaces across a wide range of fields and industries, including electronics, energy, automotive and medical engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellipsometry has been applied to problems in the microelectronics industry from the beginning in the 1960's. More recently spectroscopic ellipsometry has been introduced. In-situ during process ellipsometry offers great promise for monitoring and control of a wide variety of microelectronics processes. This review covers some applications in silicon technology such as oxidation, chemical vapor deposition, etching, interfaces, and new processing techniques such as plasma, ion beam and rapid thermal, in an effort to demonstrate the kinds of crucial microelectronics information and processes that modern ellipsometry can access. The conclusion is that single wavelength ellipsometry along is not sufficient; spectroscopic ellipsometry is required to establish the optimum ellipsometry measurement conditions. The future of ellipsometry in microelectronics is assessed.
