The modular Spectroscopic Ellipsometer is a highly versatile thin film characterization system covering the widest spectral range in a single tool (190 nm – 25 µm). It enables non-contact, non-destructive analysis of film thickness, optical constants, multilayer stacks, and advanced material properties with unmatched flexibility.

  • Ideal for research labs, universities, pilot production, and optics manufacturers
  • Applications include:
    • photonics (LEDs, optronics, III-V devices),
    • photovoltaics (thin films, solar cells, TCOs),
    • organics (OLED, OPV, sensors),
    • semiconductors (high-k dielectrics, gate oxides, epi-layers),
    • flat panel displays, and general materials (ferroelectrics, fuel cells, graphene, 3D periodic structures)
    • liquid and free liquid surfaces
  • Measurement modes cover thin film thickness, refractive index, band gap, multilayer stacks, anisotropic materials, porosity, reflectance/transmittance, and more
  • Unique features include:
    • independent arm angle selection,
    • Non-destructive optical elimination of backside reflection on transparent samples,
    • combined ellipsometry / 16 element Mueller-matrix / scatterometry / polarimetry measurement modes,
    • Feed-forward analysis for subsequent thin film deposition process monitoring,
    • and FTIR ellipsometer option on the same goniometer

• Highly versatile modular spectroscopic ellipsometer with over 70 configurations

• Covers the widest spectral range in a single system: 190 nm (Deep UV) to 25 µm (Mid-IR)

• Supports advanced thin film analysis, optical property characterization, and complex multilayer stacks

• Partial or full automation: manual / automated sample loading with optional automated wafer mapping

• Recipe-driven with modern graphical user interface

• Measurement speed: from 167 ms to several seconds per point (typically 1–10 s)

• Non-contact, non-destructive measurements

• Modular and upgradeable, supporting many hardware/software options including IR, NIR, cryostats, mapping systems, etc.
