Now that we’ve finished up our Spectroscopic Ellipsometry workshop and CompleteEase software course for 2022, we wanted to bring you some insight into the day and participants. With plenty of pictures and new additions to the course, quotes from attendees and speakers.
Both the J. A. Woollam Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Workshop and the J. A. Woollam CompleteEASE Software Training Course, as a whole, was a very interesting and informative event, engaging its attendees to participate in the discussion of the various seminars and training sessions.
From the workshop you had an introduction to spectroscopic ellipsometry and its applications, as well as exposure to the latest research in the field, showcasing real-world use cases in advanced characterisation. This definitely provided the necessary background and context for newly acquainted users, as well as serving as a “refresher” for more experienced users.
Regarding the training course, it provided step-by-step guidance on how to best leverage spectroscopic ellipsometry for sample characterisation (measurement and analysis), using J.A. Woollam’s CompleteEASE software. The course addressed how to use CompleteEASE, through a comprehensive introduction, as well as how to model different types of materials (transparent, absorbing, semi-absorbing and ultra-thin films) and how to characterise multiple samples concurrently (model multiple datasets), multi-point data mapping and model dynamic data (time series data).I can confidently recommend this event to anyone seeking to improve their expertise in materials characterisation, in particular spectroscopic ellipsometry. It accomplishes this by delivering detailed and thorough content, linking measurement, modelling and analysis, providing its users with a better understanding of its data, and in turn, of the materials being characterised.”

Testimonial
Throughout my PhD I have been using ellipsometry to characterise the thickness of my ALD coatings, although I am able to perform basic measurements, my understanding of the process has always been limited. My time spent on the Quantum Design/Woollam course has given me in depth knowledge of the ellipsometry processes I perform as well as extra information about how to adapt the skills I already have for more complicated layer characterisation. I would highly recommend it to anyone who uses Ellipsometry or is considering investing in an ellipsometer tool
