A. Sassella et al., CROSS-SECTIONAL INFRARED TRANSMISSION MEASUREMENTS FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE THIN-FILM CHARACTERIZATION, Mikrochimica acta, 1997, pp. 343-344
The results of transmission measurements of SiO2 films in silicon perf
ormed in the standard experimental configuration and in a new cross-se
ctional configurat dagger ion have bran compared. The cross-sectional
measurements proved to be the most suitable for characterization of ve
ry thin (few nanometres thick) films and in addition are very sensitiv
