Abstract

The establishment and use of precision measurement technology and system become an important part to understand and to effectively control the materials, structures or installations in nano-scale. In this paper, a system based on the multiple beam interferometry, multi-matrix method and fast spectral correlation method is developed to measure the thickness and refractive index of thin film. Primary study to analyze the FECO images obtained from symmetrical three-layer (mica-air-mica) with film thickness over 200nm and non-symmetrical interference (mica- air- LDPE-mica) was made. The results show that the fast spectral correlation formula can be applied to both symmetric and non-symmetric three-layer interference, and the film thickness measurement is applicable to over 200nm.
