SE-2000 Spectroscopic Ellipsometer covering DUV-UV-VIS-NIR detection ranges

Semilab’s SE-2000 is an exclusive modular optical platform provided with a spectroscopic ellipsometer equipped with rotating compensator optics. The instrument carries out non-contact and non-destructive optical measurements on substrates, as well as single-layer and multi-layer samples, to determine optical properties and individual thin film thickness.

Key Features

Listed below are the main features of the SE-2000:

  • The SE-2000 system has a flexible, sturdy, and modular design, enabling the analysis of samples with simple single-layer thickness to more complicated applications like those that combine scatterometry, ellipsometry, and polarimetry by using the Mueller matrix.
  • The SE-2000 provides a broad spectral range extending from the Deep-UV (193 nm) up to the Mid-IR (25 µm), together with an optional FTIR ellipsometer head fitted exclusively on the same goniometer with the visible arms.
  • The system offers novel individual arm angle selection and a small spot size.
  • The system can be configured either with the high-resolution mode using a spectrometer and single point detectors, with fast detection mode using spectrograph and detector array, or with both modes combined in a single tool.
  • The SE-2000 system is equipped with the new smart electronics from Semilab that includes exchangeable components, and works based on the new generation operating and analysis software (SAM/SEA).
  • The system can be controlled by a new touch panel interface or by a Laptop or PC through LAN network.
