🕔 10-11 AM  or 4-5 PM (CET) 

Based on light polarization and indirect determination of parameters, ellipsometry enables obtaining thin film thickness and optical parameters, roughness, porosity or even compositional information about simple layers & complex stacks. Very useful in the fields of semiconductors, PV, optical coatings and every application using thin films, ellipsometry reached for some years now an instrumental maturity which enables to open its use to non-expert users. Come and (re)discover the basics of this powerful ltechnique for your materials characterization needs!
