HORIBA Scientific has launched the UVISEL 2, a new generation of scientific spectroscopic ellipsometers.
The UVISEL 2 pioneers the combination of a fully automated platform that includes a patented vision system, 8 computer selectable, achromatic spot sizes, and fast scanning, high-resolution monochromators, making it a unique solution for efficient and rapid thin film characterisation over a broad spectral range of 190-2100nm.
The UVISEL 2 is designed as a highly automated instrument to provide automatic goniometer, automatic XYZ stage, automatic sample adjustment and automatic microspot optics.
Microspots, combined with a real-time vision system, allow straightforward and accurate spot positioning on a sample.
A selection of eight achromatic spots (down to 35µm) allows the user to perform measurements on a broad spectral range even with a small spot size. This unique system always allows an image to be obtained, whether on rough, smooth, transparent or reflective surfaces.
UVISEL 2 is the most sensitive and accurate spectroscopic ellipsometer on the market. With its robust phase modulation control and the new electronics, it is capable of characterising advanced optical and material properties (e.g., anisotropy, gradient), detecting very thin layers (e.g., graphene) and can follow ultra fast kinetic phenomena at up to 1ms per point.
The detection systems in VIS-FUV and NIR have also been enhanced to provide very low stray light and faster acquisition.
The DeltaPsi2 software controls the UVISEL 2 to offer the largest range of data acquisition and advanced modelling features.
