Beam splitting analyzer means in rotating compensator ellipsometer

摘要

Disclosed is a rotating compensator sample system investigation system which includes a source of a beam of electromagnetic radiation, a polarizer, a stage for supporting a sample system, a beam splitting analyzer, and at least two detector systems which are positioned each to intercept a different of the at least two electromagnetic beams which emerge from the beam splitting analyzer. Also disclosed is a regression based approach to calibration which simultaneously extracts a sample system PSI and DELTA.
