The J. A. Woollam M-2000 DI spectroscopic ellipsometer provides fast and accurate thin film characterization over a wide spectroscopic range. The high speed CCD detector automatically collects data at hundreds of wavelengths ranging from infrared to deep ultraviolet at multiple angles. The user-friendly modeling software can analyze the collected data to characterize film thicknesses, indices of refraction, and extinction coefficients on single layer or multilayer film stacks.
