Course details

What are the course deliverables?

  • Describe the use of light to measure the thickness and refractive index of thin transparent films.
  • Explain how light is absorbed and emitted by semiconductors.
  • Explain the advantages and limitations of optical and X-ray characterization.
More about this course
  • Optical and X-ray techniques are powerful ways to characterize semiconductor thin films. They can be used to measure film thickness, purity and crystalline quality, and for compositional analysis. Modern techniques are fast, turn-key, and generally non-destructive, allowing for rapid assessment of material properties. This course describes the fundamentals of optical and X-ray characterization and provides real-world examples of how they are used in semiconductor manufacturing.
