Abstract [en]

The optimization of azimuth angle settings of a polarizer-compensator-sample-analyzer off-null ellipsometric sensor system to obtain maximum intensity changes with respect to changes in the properties of a sensing layer, with and without considering changes in a reflectance, is studied. Optimal conditions in the two cases are derived analytically under the assumption that linear relationships exist among the changes in the parameters of the sensing layer. The validity of these optimal conditions is verified by numerical examples. The advantage of using ellipsometry compared with reflectometry to readout sensing information for some sensing samples is also discussed. © 2004 Optical Society of America.

Abstract [en]

A gas sensor system based on ellipsometric readout is presented. It includes a gas chamber and a compact null ellipsometer operated in off-null mode. Small, low-cost optical components are used to demonstrate that this advanced methodology can be implemented in simplified instrumentation. The off-null ellipsometric sensing principle and transducer mechanisms of the sensing layers, as well as the instrumentation, are described. The application of the sensor system is exampled with experimental results on low-concentration alcoholic gases (methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol) using porous silicon as a sensing layer. Optimization of the optics of the sensor system, improvement of sensitivity or alteration of selectivity by modification of sensing layers, and multisensing by using several ellipsometric units in parallel are discussed.

Abstract [en]

Ellipsometry has sufficient sensitivity for sensor applications and is here used as an optical readout method in a gas sensing system. Porous silicon is used as sensing layers in which vapors of solvents can adsorb and condensate due to capillary effects. A miniaturized multi-beam ellipsometer system is proposed and the concept is demonstrated by measurements on alcohol vapors. Optimization of the sensor system is discussed and improvement of sensitivity and alteration of selectivity by metal deposition in porous silicon layers are presented.

Abstract [en]

The dependence of the azimuth angle settings on the change in off-null intensity of a polarizer-.compensator-sample-analyzer ellipsometer owing to changes in sample properties is studied. First, a closed-form expression for the relationship between azimuth angles that fulfill the null condition is presented. An approximation for the off-null light intensity near null that is valid for small changes of the p- and s-reflection coefficients of an isotropic sample is then derived. This approximation shows that the intensity change near the null can be described by changes in the ellipsometric parameters tan q, and Delta only. Expressions for finding the azimuth angle that gives the maximum possible intensity change for a given change in the sample parameters are also derived. The importance of optimization of azimuth angle settings for different samples is investigated and found to depend on tan psi. Numerical and experimental results chosen from the investigation of gas sensors based on porous silicon are included to verify the approximations as well as the optimization.

Abstract [en]

Variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry has been used for determining the optical properties, in terms of the complex dielectric function in the near UV-VIS-near IR spectral range, and the thicknesses of thin fulgide films of type E-a-(2,5-dimethyl-3-furyl)-ethylidene(adamantylidene)succinic anhydride and (E)-2-[a-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)ethylidene]-3-isopropylidenesuccinic anhydride. The films had thicknesses in the range 28-40 nm and were spin coated onto silicon substrates. To simultaneously extract film thicknesses and optical properties of the films, several methods of analysis were employed in order to decrease correlation between the fitting parameters in the optical model of the structure. In agreement with previous absorbance measurements done by others on similar materials in liquid or solid form, it was found that the fulgides studied have several resonances in the wavelength region below 400 nm and that new resonances appear in the middle of the visible region upon UV exposure. The ellipsometric analysis, as well as atomic force microscopy studies, showed that the films were very smooth with a root mean square surface roughness <0.4 nm and that a small thickness change of the film takes place upon UV exposure. Furthermore, AFM studies revealed that large phase changes take place when the samples are stored in darkness for several days, indicating that the materials are not stable in thin film form. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
