Routine determination of thickness and refractive index of thin films
Key Specifications:
Wavelength range 380 – 900 nm
Four angles are possible: 90° (also called the “Straight-Through” configuration) and 65°, 70° and 75° (also called the “Off-Sample” configurations).
Allowed materials:
Thin films of dielectrics, semiconductors, organics etc.
Maintenance procedures:
The alpha-SE system can be left on continuously if desired. However, the Quartz-Tungesten-Halogen (QTH) lamp has a rated lifetime of 1500 hours. To maximize lamp life, turn off the system when not in use for extended periods of time.
