SE-2000 Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

The modular Spectroscopic Ellipsometer is a highly versatile thin film characterization system covering the widest spectral range in a single tool (190 nm – 25 µm). It enables non-contact, non-destructive analysis of film thickness, optical constants, multilayer stacks, and advanced material properties with unmatched flexibility.
