Based
on the ratio of two reflectance coefficients, ellipsometry is
insensitive to the ambient conditions, and thus ideally suited for real
time process monitoring.
The same principle and set-up as our ex situ ellipsometers are
employed, the optical heads of the system being here coupled to your
reactor via two opposing viewports. Jobin Yvon ellipsometers combine
a phase modulation and an entirely numerical data acquisition and
processing system. These features allow for a robust design with no
mechanically moving parts, and for rapid and precise measurements.
High frequency modulation is far from mechanical vibrations
(pumps...), which results in improved signal-to-noise ratios. |
