Abstract
Direct optical monitoring is considered a reliable means of controlling layer thicknesses during multilayer thin-film depositions. However, accuracy depends on precise knowledge of optical constants for all materials used in a given coating under actual conditions of deposition1. This information is very difficult to obtain directly. In this paper, we describe an indirect method based on computer simulation of the monitoring process.
