Ellipsometer measures a change in polarization as light reflects or transmits from a material structure. The polarization change is represented as an amplitude ratio, Ψ, and the phase difference, Δ. The measured response depends on optical properties and thickness of individual materials. Thus, Ellipsometer is primarily used to determine film thickness and optical constants. However, it is also applied to characterize composition, crystallinity, roughness, doping concentration, and other material properties associated with a change in optical response.

Rules of Woollam Ellipsometer:
1. If you are measuring depositions on glass substrates, please note that multiple layers cannot be measured after the complete deposition. Each layer has to be measured separately and it is preferred that a sample deposition be made on Silicon and that is measured in lieu of the deposition on glass.
2. Metal depositions above 30 nm cannot be measured.
3. Please check with the concerned facility technologist for the availability of model files if novel materials are to be measured.
