FE-5000 series

FE5000 measures film thickness and optical constant in the UV-visible (300 ~ 800nm) wavelength range using ellipsometry. FE5000's automatic angle adjusting mechanism widens the scope of the subject sample from the wafer, display, films to new materials. Adopting detachable retarder and rotating analyzer, the measurement accuracy has advanced and still achieves quick measurement over 400ch using multi-channel spectroscopy.

 Features  
  • Ellipsometry measurement for both visible and ultraviolet ray range(250 ~ 800nm)

  • Nano-order thin film thickness

  • Quick measurement using multi channel spectroscopy(over 400ch)

  • Angle adjustable mechanism for detailed analysis

  • High operability with optical constant database and recipe registration function

  • Optical constant measurement using multi layer fitting analysis for quality control of film thickness and film property

Measured data

> ITO structure analysis using gradient model

ITO(indium-tin-oxide) is the transparent electrode material that is used for flat display like an LCD display. The electrical conductivity and color hue of ITO are improved by annealing treatment(heat treatment) after its film formation. At that time, the oxygen state and the crystalline state of ITO will change. This change tends to gain the slope change in stages with respect to film thickness and it does not become a single layer with uniform composition optically. We’d like to introduce a case, the measurement of the degree of inclination for both upper and lower surface’s nk with using the gradient model.

Example: sample measurement data
