As thin film applications are so varied and diverse, the best way to determine if a Film Sense Multi-Wavelength Ellipsometer is right for your application is to perform demonstration measurements on your actual samples. Please contact us to discuss your application, and arrange for sample measurements.

Testimonial

“We have purchased four Film Sense products for our small R&D group.  We have three FS-1 units and one FS-1EX unit with the RT300 mapping stage.  The Film Sense software is the most intuitive and easiest to use of all the ellipsometers I have experience using.  Our favorite feature is the multi-sample analysis method.   This feature allows you to determine the optical constants for new or poorly fitting films by simply measuring a small number of samples with various thicknesses.  Having knowledge of the actual thin film thickness values is not even necessary.  The software understands the optical constants must be the same for all samples, and each sample varies only in thin film thickness.  The user just needs to collect the data and press the fit button.  New films layers are created in just a couple of minutes.  We also love the automatic adjustment for sample height on the RT300 mapping stage.  Our process engineers are constantly adjusting the height on competitor’s units without this automatic feature.”

“The system is great and we are having an increase of users using it. I am happy with the system and I direct users to use it when I am training them on our ALD deposition system. It gives great results and the customer support is quick and helpful too.”
