Regression Calibrated Spectroscopic Rotating Compensator Ellipsometer System With Photo Array Detector

US Patent:
5872630, Feb 16, 1999
Filed:
Aug 15, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/912211
Inventors:
Blaine D. Johs - Lincoln NE
Daniel W. Thompson - Lincoln NE
International Classification:
G01N 2121
US Classification:
356369
Abstract:
A Spectroscopic Rotating Compensator Material System Investigation System including a Photo Array for simultaneously detecting a Multiplicity of Wavelengths is disclosed. The Spectroscopic Rotating Compensator Material System Investigation System is calibrated by a Mathematical Regression based technique involving, where desirable, Parameterization of Calibration Parameters. Calibration is possible utilizing a single two dimensional Data Set obtained with the Spectroscopic Rotating Compensator Material System Investigation System in a "Material System present" or in a Straight-through" configuration.

Infrared Ellipsometer/Polarimeter System, Method Of Calibration, And Use Thereof

US Patent:
5706212, Jan 6, 1998
Filed:
Mar 20, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/618820
Inventors:
Daniel W. Thompson - Lincoln NE
Blaine D. Johs - Lincoln NE
Assignee:
Board of Regents of University of Nebraska - Lincoln NE
J.A. Woollam Co. Inc. - Lincoln NE
International Classification:
G01N 2121, G01J 3447
US Classification:
364525
Abstract:
A sample system investigation system, such as an ellipsometer or polarimeter system, for use in investigating sample systems with electromagnetic wavelengths in the infrared range, and a calibration method for compensating nonidealities in multi-dimensional system rotated and non-rotated component representing matricies, are disclosed. An essentially achromatic compensator of dual-rhomb construction, which introduces a (3*LAMBDA/4) phase shift, but essentially no deviation in the direction of propagation of a polarized beam of electromagnetic wavelengths caused to pass therethrough, even when said compensator is caused to continuously rotate, is also disclosed.

Electromagnetic Beam Directing Means-Sample Analysis System Stage, And Method Of Use

US Patent:
5706087, Jan 6, 1998
Filed:
Oct 4, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/727700
Inventors:
Daniel W. Thompson - Lincoln NE
Darin W. Glenn - Lincoln NE
John A. Woollam - Lincoln NE
Assignee:
The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln NE
International Classification:
G01J 400
US Classification:
356364
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electromagnetic beam directing means for use with sample analysis systems, such as reflectometers, ellipsometers and polarimeters and the like, use of which facilitates investigation of sample systems which are not mounted to a sample analysis system sample system supporting stage. The present invention eliminates the requirement of extensive sample analysis system component realignment when alternatingly performing analysis of sample systems mounted upon, and mounted other than upon, a sample analysis system sample system supporting stage.

System And Method Enabling Simultaneous Investigation Of Sample With Two Beams Of Electromagnetic Radiation

US Patent:
6937341, Aug 30, 2005
Filed:
Sep 10, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/238241
Inventors:
John A. Woollam - Lincoln NE, US
Galen L. Pfeiffer - Lincoln NE, US
Daniel W. Thompson - Lincoln NE, US
Blaine D. Johs - Lincoln NE, US
Craig M. Herzinger - Lincoln NE, US
Assignee:
J. A. Woollam Co. Inc. - Lincoln NE
International Classification:
G01J004/00, G01N021/00
US Classification:
356436, 356440, 356364
Abstract:
Disclosed are system and method for characterizing a system consisting of a fluid sample on a two sided stage, utilizing data obtained by applying, from both sides thereof, beams of electromagnetic radiation to a fluid coated surface in a containing cell volume. The beams can have the same or different wavelength content and/or polarization state, and can be applied at the same or different magnitude angles-of-incidence, and a third typically unpolarized beam can be applied at a normal angle-of-incidence.
