J. A. Woollam VASE Spectroscopic Ellipsometer

Variable angle Spectroscopic Ellipsometer 

The VASE® is an accurate and versatile ellipsometer for research on all types of materials: semiconductors, dielectrics, polymers, metals, multi-layers, and more.

It combines high accuracy and precision with a wide spectral range – up to 193 to 3200nm. Variable wavelength and angle of incidence allow flexible measurement capabilities, including:

  • Reflection and Transmission Ellipsometry
  • Generalised Ellipsometry (Anisotropy, Retardance, Birefringence)
  • Reflectance (R) and Transmittance (T) intensity
  • Cross-polarised R/T
  • Depolarisation
  • Scatterometry
  • Mueller-matrix

The VASE features a rotating analyser ellipsometer (RAE) combined with J. A. Woollam patented AutoRetarder for unparalleled data accuracy.

FEATURES

  • Standard Spectral Range: 240-1700 nm
  • Vertical sample stage with vacuum mount can accommodate up to 200 mm diameter samples (call for custom sample mounting)
  • Automated angle of incidence from 15° to 90°
  • Double-chamber monochromator for superior stray-light rejection
