Image scanning ellipsometry for measuring nonuniform film thickness profiles

Abstract

A novel technique to measure the two-dimensional (2-D) thickness profile of a nonuniform, thin film, from several nanometers to several micrometers, in a steady state as well as in a transient state has been developed and tested. Image scanning ellipsometry (ISE) is a full-field imaging technique that one can use to study every point on the surface simultaneously with high spatial resolution and thickness sensitivity, i.e., it can measure and map the 2-D film thickness profile. The primary purpose of this paper is to present the basic concept of ISE and a demonstration of its use.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
