Ellipsometry

The Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory at the University of Oslo (UiO MiNaLab) is equipped with a Woolam Alpha SE Ellipsometer.

Ellipsometry can probe the complex refractive index or dielectric function tensor, which gives access to fundamental physical parameters and is related to a variety of sample properties. It is commonly used to characterize film thickness for single layers or complex multilayer stacks ranging from >10 nm to several μm.

Instrument Features

  • Spectral Range: 380 nm to 900 nm.
  • Angle of Incidence: 65°, 70°, 75° or 90°.
  • Data Acquisition Rates: 3 sec (Fast mode), 10 sec (Standard mode), 30 sec (High precision mode).
  • Beam Diameter: ~3 mm.

Prices

The ellipsometer is available for rent with or without an operator. Prices are in Norwegian kroner (NOK) excl. VAT. All prices are subject to change.

User Category Price without operator/hour Price with operator/hour
