Ellipsometry is a surface sensitive, non-destructive, and non-intrusive optical metrology technique widely used to determine thin film thickness and optical constants (n, k). Ellipsometry is ideal for a wide range of thin film applications from fields such as semiconductors, solar, optoelectronics, optical and functional coatings, surface chemistry, and biotechnology. For more information on thin film characterisation and analysis using spectroscopic ellipsometry, please visit the Horiba Scientific Ellipsometry Academy, which provides a tutorial, webinars and videos, and some FAQ’s to help you with your thin film analysis.

Auto SE: Designed for your thin film measurements, to deliver maximum efficiency with simplicity
The Auto SE is a new thin film measurement tool that allows full automatic analysis of thin film samples with simple push button operation.
Sample analysis takes only a few seconds and provides a complete report that fully describes the thin film stack – including film thicknesses, optical constants, surface roughness, and film inhomogeneities.
The Auto SE is a highly featured instrument that includes an automatic XYZ stage, real-time imaging of the measurement site and automatic selection of spot size. Many accessories are available to suit a large range of applications.
The Auto SE includes built-in diagnostic indicators for the automatic detection and diagnosis of problems, with comprehensive operator guidance for troubleshooting.
The Auto SE stands out in its ease of use and numerous automatic features that made the Auto SE a turnkey instrument ideal for routine thin film measurement and device quality control.

UVISEL 2: The ultimate solution to every challenge in thin-film measurement
HORIBA Scientific has invented the new generation of scientific spectroscopic ellipsometer that delivers the highest level of performance for nano and micro layer characterization.
The UVISEL 2 includes the widest range of integrated automated features useful for the investigation of all material family.
The UVISEL 2 features a patented sample vision coupled with automated spot selection for accurate positioning of the measurement spot and region on the sample.
The UVISEL 2 integrates the world’s smallest patented achromatic spot size of 35μm capable of covering a large spectral range from FUV to NIR for measurement of very small sample areas.
Driven by the DeltaPsi2 software, the UVISEL 2 is simple to operate and has the performance required characterizing all current materials as well as the next generation materials and structures.
HORIBA Scientific started with what has proven to be the most accurate and sensitive ellipsometer, the UVISEL, and redesigned and improved everything to deliver an instrument with a remarkably higher specification than any other instrument.
Key Features
The new generation of microscopic thin film, surface and materials metrology tool uses a combination of auto nulling ellipsometry and microscopy to enable surface characterization with lateral resolution as small as 1 micron. This enables resolving sample areas 1000 times smaller than most non-imaging ellipsometers, even if they use micro spot spectroscopic option.
The nanofilm_ep4 uses a variety of unique features that allow the visualization of your surface in real time. You will see the structure of your sample on a microscopic scale and measure parameters like thickness, refractive index and absorption. 3D profile maps of selected areas can be recorded. Instrument combinations with other technologies like AFM, QCM-D, reflectometry, Raman spectroscopy, etc. are possible to receive even more information from your samples.
