We have developed a technique utilizing a capacitance measurement for the accurate determination of the out-of-plane expansion of thin films on the order of 1
Optical computer aided tomography (CAT) is being investigated as a potential in situ diagnostic for measuring plasma uniformity without making assumptions
In this paper, I will discuss the theory and application of polarized light scatter. Recent measurements have shown that some sources of scatter, including
