✦ Synopsis
The optical characterization techniques including multiple internal reflection, spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray specular reflectometry and Raman spectroscopy, are presented from the point of view of the silicon microelectronics. Practical examples are selected. The advantages and limitations of each techniques are shown. It is emphasized that reliable results can be obtained by complementing these tools each other.
