SENTECH designed the SE 800 PV for characterizing multilayers composed of SiNx / SiO2, SiNx / SiNy, or SiNx / Al2O3 as passivation and antireflective coatings. Refractive index, absorption and film thickness of the stacked layers are analysed on textured monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon solar cells. The complex measurement is performed in the recipe mode, fast and easily.
Unambiguous thickness determination
The combination of ellipsometry and reflectometryallows for fast and unambiguous determination of the thickness of transparent films by automatic identifcation of the cyclic thickness period.
Largest measurement range
The combination of laser ellipsometer andreflectometry extends the thickness range for transparent films up to
Push the limits of laser ellipsometry
The multiple angle manual goniometer with superior performance and angle accuracy allows measuring refractive index, extinction coefficient, and film thickness of single films and layer stacks.
The SE 500adv combines ellipsometry and reflectometry to eliminate the ambiguity of measuring layer thickness of transparent films. It extends the measureable thickness to
The SE 500adv can be operated as laser ellipsometer, as film thickness probe, and as CER ellipsometer. Consequently, it offers maximum flexibility never reached by standard laser ellipsometers. Operated as ellipsometer, single and multiple angle measurements can be performed. When operated as film thickness probe, the thickness of a transparent or weakly absorbing film is measured under normal incidence.
The combination of ellipsometry and reflectometry in the SE 500adv comprises the ellipsometer optics, goniometer, combined reflection measurement head and auto-collimating telescope, sample platform, HeNe laser source, laser light detection unit, and photometer.
The options of the SE 500adv support applications in microelectronics, microsystems technology, display technology, photovoltaics, chemistry, and others.
