Abstract:
Ellipsometer is a powerful tool to determine the thickness and optical properties of thin films. Usually, traditional spectroscopic ellipsometer employing transmissive lenses for beam collimation and focusing are only accurate over a limited spectral range due to high chromatic aberration and low transmittance. In this paper, we describe a ellipsometer that uses all-reflective focusing optical components to extend the wavelength range from Deep-UV 200 nm to near-infrared 1000 nm and focuses the collimated beam into a small spot size (36x49 mu m). This focused beam spectroscopic ellipsometer includes four off-axis parabolic mirrors and two flat mirrors, in which flat mirrors are used to change the propagation direction and compensate the polarization changes caused by off-axis parabolic mirrors to obliquely focus on the sample surface. By careful construction, alignment, and calibration of the rotating-compensator ellipsometer, we measured the thickness of SiO2 thin film on Si substrate with a maximum absolute error of 2.15 angstrom in the thickness range of 30 to 130 angstrom.
