Patent abstract
Thin-film thickness and refractive index are measured using the Fourier amplitude of a broadband interferometric spectrum. Due to the smooth nature of the Fourier amplitude as a function of wavelength, as compared to the fast varying Fourier phase conventionally used to measure thickness, increased stability and repeatability of measurement are achieved. As a result, measurements of ultra-thin films with thickness below 100 nm are possible with reliable results.
