Ellipsometry is a non-contacting, nondestructive technique for the measurement of surfaces and very thin films on surfaces using elliptically polarized light. The model L116S300 for up to 300mm wafers builds on the production proven Gaertner line of ellipsometers in widespread use throughout the world. From thin gate oxides only tens of angstroms thick to thick polyimides and photoresists. Gaertner has earned a reputation for providing precise, reliable results. Ellipsometer can detect film and surface conditions less than an Angstrom thick.
