Ellipsometer-Microspectrophotometer-SE-MSP

Spectroscopic Ellipsometer and Microspectrophotometer Integrated Thin Film Metrology

Angstrom Sun technolgies Inc provides a solution to work on ultra thin films with Ellipsometry and also a micron small area with micro-reflectometry, a unique configuration by combining ellipsometer and microspectrophtometers. TFProbe 3.3 version software will handle both measurements and analyses.

A small probing spot is desired for some applications, like features on MEMS or semiconductor product wafers. After microspectrophotometer is  integrated with spectroscopic ellipsometer, tool's capability is greatly extended. Model SE-MSP is designed for such purpose. MSP works under reflectometry mode and run measuremment at normal incident angle which is complimentary to non-normal incident angle SE setup.  Wavelength ranges for SE and MSP can be configured differently, based on application needs. All options are selectable.
