    摘要： Disclosed is a system and method for controlling polarization state determining parameters of a polarized beam of light in an ellipsometer or polarimeter and the like system, (eg. a modulation element ellipsometer system), so that they are in ranges wherein the sensitivity, (of a sample system characterizing PSI and DELTA value monitoring detector used to measure changes in said polarization state resulting from interaction with a "composite sample system," comprised of a sample system per se. and a beam polarization state determining variable retarder, to noise and measurement errors etc. therein), is reduced. The present invention allows determining sample system per se. characterizing PSI and DELTA values, from Composite Sample System characterizing PSI and DELTA values, by compensating for the presence of present invention components, (VR1) and/or VR2), added to an ellipsometer or polarimeter and the like system. The present invention also improves the ability of an ellipsometer or polarimeter and the like system fitted with present invention components (VR1) and/or (VR2) to provide usably accurate and precise sample system characterizing PSI and DELTA determining data values, wherein a sample system per se. investigating polarized beam of light is oriented at other than a Principal or Brewster Angle of Incidence thereto, the use of which Angle of Incidence would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible. Practice of the present invention also allows determination of the "Handedness" of a polarized beam of light, and of sample system Jones or Mueller Matrix component values. As well, the present invention provides means for making system components (VR1) and/or (VR2) added to an ellipsometer or polarimeter and the like system, essentially end user transparent when desired, without removal thereof from said ellipsometer or polarimeter system.

    摘要： The present invention is applicable generally to Spectroscopic Rotatable and Rotating Element Ellipsometers which utilize a relatively large range of wavelengths. Disclosed is a system and method for controlling the polarization state of a polarized beam of light so that it is in a range where the sensitivity of a Polarization State Detector used to measure changes in said polarized beam of light resulting from interaction with a Sample System, to noise and measurement errors etc., is reduced. Exemplified is a system, and method of use, for simultaneously setting both measured ellipsometric ALPHA, and ellipsometric BETA parameter values, (or equivalents), within ranges, in which ranges the sensitivity of transfer functions, and mathematical regressions which utilize said ellipsometric ALPHA and ellipsometric BETA values in the calculation of sample system characterizing PSI and DELTA constant values, to noise and errors in measurement etc., is found to be negligible. The present invention allows obtaining accurate and precise sample system PSI and DELTA Values from an Ellipsometer System in which a polarized beam of light is oriented at other than a Principal of Brewster Angle of Incidence to a sample system, allows determination of DELTA values in ranges otherwise not impossible, allows determination of the "Handedness" of a polarized beam of light, and provides means for determining all of Stokes Vector and Mueller Matrix component values. The present invention also provides means for making all system components added to a conventional ellipsometer system essentially end user transparent when desired, without removal thereof from said ellipsometer system.

    摘要： Disclosed is a dispersive optics system, in the context of sample substrate system investigating spectroscopic reflectometer and the like systems, which, in use, produce a plurality of "Orders" of essentially single wavelength beams of light from a polychromatic beam of light. In use the availability of more than one "Order" of essentially single wavelength beams of light allows simultaneous measurement of more essentially single wavelength beams of light, over a larger range, than would be possible were only one "Order" of essentially single wavelength beams of light present. Filters are present to reduce the effects of stray light on detector elements and to allow separating the wavelengths in overlapping regions of adjacent Orders. Also disclosed is a quadrant detector means of dispersive optics alignment, and a compensator means for reducing the effect of detector element polarization state dependence.
