The J.A. Woolam M-2000 spectroscopic ellipsometer is a tool for optical thin film analysis that enables determination of thickness, optical constants ''n'' and ''k'' (refractive index and absorption coefficient), and allows modeling of electronic characteristics such as majority carrier concentration and band-gap. The beam incidence angle ranges from 45-90 degrees, allowing both standard ellipsometry and transmission measurements. It is equipped with a motorized sample stage that enables wafer-scale measurements. The CompleteEASE control and analysis software possesses detailed measurement and modeling capability.

Description

The J.A. Woolam M-2000 spectroscopic ellipsometer is a tool for optical thin film analysis that enables determination of thickness, optical constants n and k (refractive index and absorption coefficient), and allows modeling of electronic characteristics such as majority carrier concentration and band-gap. The beam incidence angle ranges from 45-90°, allowing both standard ellipsometry and transmission measurements. It is equipped with a motorized sample stage that enables wafer-scale measurements. The CompleteEASE control and analysis software possesses detailed measurement and modeling capability.
