Spectroscopic Ellipsometry and Reflectometry

While single wave ellipsometry has been around for years, spectroscopic ellipsometry is fast becoming the method of choice for measuring the thickness and optical properties of thin films. This book provides the first practical introduction to spectroscopic ellipsometry and the related techniques of reflectometry. A guide for practitioners and researchers in a variety of disciplines, it addresses a broad range of applications in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and materials science.Mit Hilfe der Ellipsometrie mißt man Dicken und optische Eigenschaften dünner Filme. In den vergangenen Jahren hat die ellipsometrische Spektroskopie ebenso wie die eng verwandte Reflektometrie zunehmend die Industrielabors erobert. Dies schafft Bedarf an einer praxisnahen Einführung für ein interdisziplinäres Publikum von Materialwissenschaftlern, Physikern, Chemikern und Elektrotechnikern, wie sie mit diesem Buch gelungen ist.
