The M-2000 delivers both speed and accuracy. Our patented RCE technology combines Rotating Compensator Ellipsometry with high-speed CCD detection to collect the entire spectrum (hundreds of wavelengths) in a fraction of a second with a wide array of configurations. The M-2000 is the first ellipsometer to truly excel at everything from insitu monitoring and process control to large-area uniformity mapping and general purpose thin film characterization. No other ellipsometer technology acquires a full spectrum faster.
