Ellipsometry is a very sensitive characterization technique which can be used to determine thin film layer thicknesses and/or optical constants. It sends in polarized light on the surface at different angles and measures the change in polarization state of the reflected light. | Ellipsometry is a very sensitive characterization technique which can be used to determine thin film layer thicknesses and/or optical constants.
