A new infrared spectroscopic ellipsometer devoted to the characterization of silicon microelectronics has been recently developed at SOPRA. Its main features are the ability to measure on a small spot ( 80×200μm) with a high signal/noise ratio. A original patented optical design suppress back face reflection and insure good quality spectral measurements in the 600–7000cm−1 range. Excellent signal/noise ratio allows to perform measurements in less than 30s. All automation and real time analysis are included to offer an operator orientated metrology tool. Hereafter, the instrument is presented in details, and used to characterize different kinds of low‐k dielectrics.
