General inversion method for single-wavelength ellipsometry of samples with an arbitrary number of layers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A general mathematical formulation for solving the ellipsometric equation of a substrate covered by an arbitrary number of transparent or absorbing layers is presented. For single-wavelength and single-angle-of-incidence ellipsometry, from a single measurement (Δ, Ψ), the procedure allows the finding of any two-parameter combination, provided that one of the unknowns is a thickness.
