Trainings Course: Woollam CompleteEASE

LOT-Oriel Darmstadt, Germany

17.10.2012 – 19.10.2012

CompleteEASE Short Course Announcement

L.O.T.-Oriel GmbH & Co. KG together with the J.A. Woollam Co., Inc. is happy to introduce a new course on Ellipsometry Data Analysis that targets intermediate to advanced users. Students should have at least some ellipsometry experience and a proficiency with CompleteEASE software. The course will be divided into sessions that include thin and thick film analysis, transparent and absorbing layers, graded, Paramterized Optical Constants Layers, in-situ. To support the lectures, participants will work examples on individual computers (participants need to bring their own notebook).

GenOsc - Parameterized Optical Constants Layer

Learn the intimate details of our most powerful layer. Session will begin with a review of the information for standard data analysis. However, it will quickly proceed to topics including advanced oscillator types: Gauss, Lorentz, Tauc- and Cody-Lorentz, PSEMI…

The Genosc layer is both powerful and versatile and we examine advanced methods that unlock the full utility of this layer. We will also discuss how to control correlation and minimize the number of free parameters.

Grading

Ellipsometry measurements are often sensitive to optical gradients within a thin film. The CompleteEASE software offers a variety of models to approach graded samples – starting with the Simple Graded layer and working toward the EMA-Based Graded layer and further toward the Function–based Graded layer.

In-Situ

Time dependent real-time measurement requires different analysis strategies. CompleteEASE has dedicated software features to account for that, which will be discussed during an extra session.
