Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
Principles and Applications
Chapter One
Introduction to Spectroscopic
Ellipsometry
Because of recent advances in computer technology, the spectroscopic ellipsometry
technique has developed rapidly. As a result, the application area of spectroscopic
ellipsometry has also expanded drastically. In spectroscopic ellipsometry, process
diagnosis including thin-film growth can be performed in real time by employing
light as a measurement probe. More recently, 'feedback control,' in which
complicated device structure is controlled in real time, has been carried out using
spectroscopic ellipsometry. In this chapter, we review the features and applications
of spectroscopic ellipsometry. This chapter will provide an overview of measurement
techniques and data analysis procedures in spectroscopic ellipsometry.
