The FilmTek™ 2000 SE benchtop metrology system provides unmatched measurement performance, versatility, and speed for unpatterned thin to thick film applications. It is ideally suited for academic and R&D settings.
The FilmTek™ 2000 SE combines spectroscopic ellipsometry and DUV multi-angle polarized reflectometry to simultaneously measure film thickness, refractive index, and extinction coefficient.
Our advanced rotating compensator design allows for precision and accuracy throughout the full range of delta (Δ), including near 0° and 180°. This allows for optimal performance when measurements are not possible near the Brewster condition, a feature essential for accurate measurement of very thin films on silicon or glass substrates.
Measurement is efficient and easy. Thousands of wavelengths are simultaneously collected in seconds, and the integrated auto-focus feature eliminates the tedious task of manual sample alignment required by comparable ellipsometers.
The FilmTek™ 2000 SE is a fully-integrated package, paired with intuitive material modeling software to make even the most demanding of measurement tasks simple and reliable. FilmTek™ software includes fully user-customizable sample mapping capabilities to rapidly generate 2D and 3D data maps of any measured parameter. In addition to user-defined patterns, standard map patterns include polar, X-Y, rθ, or linear.
FilmTek™ 2000 SE incorporates SCI’s generalized material model with advanced global optimization algorithms for simultaneous determination of:
Virtually all translucent films ranging in thickness from 1 angstrom to approximately 150 microns can be measured with high precision. Typical applications include:
