  • Rotating compensator multichannel spectroscopic ellipsometry has been employed to determine the optical functions of various liquids used in chemistry. We attempted three different measurement configurations: (1) air-liquid interface, (2) prism-liquid interface, and (3) liquid-sample interface. In prism-liquid interface, we found that the prism surface had roughness and it should be considered in analysis for accurate results. In liquidsample interface, we had much higher reflection, better sensitivity, and less limitation compared to the other two configurations when crystalline silicon was used as reference sample. We discuss the merit of each configuration and present the optical functions of various liquids. Also we demonstrate Bruggeman effective medium theory to determine the optical properties of mixed liquid.

  • AlSb is a promising material for optical devices, particularly for high-frequency and nonlinear-optical applications. We report the effect of growth temperature on structural properties of AlSb grown on GaAs substrate. In particular we studied the surface of AlSb with the growth temperature by atomic force microscopy, and concluded that optimized growth temperature of AlSb is $530^{\circ}C$. We also show the result of real-time monitoring of AlSb growth by in situ ellipsometry. The results of the structural study are good agreement with the previous reported ellipsometric data.

  • The sensitivity factors and the error propagation factors are defined for the three-parameter ellipsometry (TPE). The sensitivity factor is useful for understanding the nature of the TPE measurements in connection with determination of the optical properties and the thickness of a film. On the other hand, the error propagation factors provide a quantitative tool for predicting the optimum condition for TPE experiments. Their usefulness is demonstrated for the passive film formed on nickel in aqueous solution.

  • 고효율 a-Si:H/c-Si 이종접합 태양전지를 얻기 위해서는 우수한 c-Si wafer 위에 고품질의 비정질 실리콘박막을 통한 heterointerface를 형성하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 달성하기 위해서는 공정중에 오염되기 쉬운 Si wafer 표면 상태를 정확히 검사하고 잘 관리하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 세정 및 표면산화에 따른 Si wafer 상태를 Spectroscopic Ellipsometry 및 u-PCD를 이용하여 분석하였으며, <$\varepsilon$2> @4.25eV 값이 Si wafer 상태를 잘 나타내고 있음을 확인하였고 세정 최적화 할 경우 그 값이 43.02에 도달하였다. 또한 RF-PECVD로 증착된a-Si:H 박막을 EMA 모델링을 통해 분석한 결과 낮은 결정성과 높은 밀도를 가지는 a-Si:H를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이를 이종접합 태양전지에 적용한 결과 Flat wafer상에서 10.88%, textured wafer 적용하여 13.23%의 변환효율을 얻었다. 결론적으로 Spectroscopic Ellipsometry가 매우 얇고 고품질의 다층 박막이 필요한 이종접합 태양전지 분석에 있어 매우 유용한 방법임이 확인되었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 광전자 소자에 폭넓게 사용되는 ZnCdSe 화합물 반도체의 end-point인 CdSe의 유전함수 spectrum을 Vacuum Ultra Violet spectroscopic ellipsometry(타원편광분석법) 측정하여 분석하였다. 측정 결과는 변수화 모델을 이용하여 분석하였으며 그 결과 6 eV 이상에 존재하는 전자전이점들을 확인할 수 있었고 CdSe의 Critical Point(CP) 구조를 수치화 함으로써 온도나 화합물 함량에 따른 광특성 의존성 연구 등에 활용될 수 있는 database를 확보하였다.

  • Imaging ellipsometry (IE) for detection of binding of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) to an immunosensor is reported. A protein G layer, chemically bound to a self-assembled layer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA), was adopted for immobilization of monoclonal antibody against E. coli O157:H7 (Mab). The immobilization of antibody was investigated using surface plasmon resonance. To fabricate antibody spots on a gold surface, protein G solution was spotted onto the gold surface modified with an 11-MUA layer, followed by immobilizing Mab on the protein G spot. Ellipsometric images of the protein G spot, the Mab spot, and Mab spots with binding of E. coli O157:H7 in various concentrations were acquired using the IE system. The change of mean optical intensity of the Mab spots in the ellipsometric images indicated that the lowest detection limit was $10^3$CFU/ml for E. coli O157:H7. Thus, IE can be applied to an immunosensor for detection of E. coli O157:H7 as a detection method with the advantages of allowing label-free detection, high sensitivity, and operational simplicity.

  • 분광타원법을 이용하여 PDP용 ITO박막의 광학상수 및 패턴을 분석하였다. ITO 박막의 광물성은 로렌쯔 진동자 모델을 사용하고 ITO의 패턴에 의한 효과는 전체빔이 ITO와 유리기층을 덮는 면적비 가중치를 가진 반사율 평균방법으로 반영시켰다. PDP 다층박막을 구성하고 있는 유리기층 위의 ITO박막 패턴이 타원데이터에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 ITO가 패턴에서 차지하는 면적비를 결정하였다. 측정된 분광타원데이터에 최적맞춤한 ITO의 상대면적값이 예측값과 보이는 차이를 검토함으로써 분광타원법을 사용한 ITO패턴분석의 한계와 이를 극복하는 방법을 제시하였다.

  • The technique of Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) has been examined with emphasis on its inherent sensitivity to the existence of thin films or surface equivalents. A brief review of related theories like the Fresnel reflection coefficients, the effect of a multilayer upon reflectivities, together with the validity of the effective medium theory and the modelling procedure, is followed by a short description of the experimental setup of a rotating polarizer type SE as well as the necessful expressions which lead to tan and cos. Out of its numerous, successful applications, a few are exampled to convince a reader that SE can be applied to a variety of research fields related to surface, interface and thin films. Specifically, those are adsorption and/or desorption on metals or semiconductors, oxidation process, formation of passivation layers on an electrode, thickness determination, interface between semiconductor and its oxide, semiconductor heterojunctions, surface microroughness, void distribution of dielectric, optical thin films, depth profile of multilayered samples, in-situ or in-vitro characterization of a solid surface immersed in electrolyte during electrochemical, chemical, or biological treatments, and so on. It is expected that the potential capability of SE will be widely utilized in a very near future, taking advantage of its sensitivity to thin films or surface equivalents, and its nondestructive, nonperturbing characteristics.
