Abstract
Being able to accurately select the angle of incidence and spectral range for measurements makes ellipsometry a very powerful tool for materials, surface and interface analysis. The technique is fast, totally computer automated and can be performed at atmospheric pressure. It is totally non-invasive and is sensitive to fractions of atom layer thicknesses. We illustrate the power of variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry with three examples: optical coatings; surface roughness and wetting; electric field effects in semiconductor studies.
