Abstract

Generalized variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (gVASE) over the photon energy range from 1.5 to 3.5 eV has been used to study and distinguish the hexagonal and cubic phases of boron nitride in thin films (50-500 nm) deposited by magnetron sputtering onto (100) silicon. Furthermore, gVASE is used to characterize the anisotropic reflectivity of the hexagonal phase films with different microstructures.
