Spectral Ellipsometry Simulation. A complete optical characterization of a semiconductor thin film can be made by the technique of spectral ellipsometry. SE is a nondestructive and noninvasive technique for the re- search on film structures and optical properties, including op- tical constants, grading profile and film thickness. It is par- ticularly attractive because it is extremely sensitive to inter- facial effects and surface roughness, for this reason, it can be applied to films having a thickness as small as monatomic to as large as several micrometers with high precision. The proposed IZON film structure used for SE analysis consisted of a substrate and three sublayers: interfacial layer of SiO 2 , IZON bulk layer and roughness layer. The IZON bulk layer was simulated using the classical dispersion model. For the roughness layer estimation, it was used a combination of the IZON bulk layer material and voids in different rates. The expression for the classical dielectric function is pre- sented in the Eq. (1), and it consists of four approaches which are the high energy dielectric constant, simple oscilla- tor model, the Drude model and the double oscillator model as show in the following expression ² = ² ∞ + (² s − ² ∞ ) ω 2 t ω 2 t − ω 2 + iΓ 0 ω + ω 2 p −ω 2 + iΓ D ω + 2 X j=1 f j ω 2 0j ω 2 0j − ω 2 + iγ j ω (1) in this equation ² ∞ is the high energy dielectric constant, ² s is the static dielectric constant, ω t is the single oscillator res- onance frequency, Γ 0 is the single oscillator resonance width, ω p is the plasmon frequency and Γ D is Drude broadening pa- rameter in angular frequency. The knowledge of optical constants such as n and k is very important to determine the possible practical applica- F IGURE 1.
