Abstract
Analytic inversion of combined reflection and transmission ellipsometric data is demonstrated. When the thickness is eliminated between the equations that give the reflection and transmission ratios ρ = rp/rs and τ = tp/ts, an algebraic equation for the unknown dielectric constant e of the layer is obtained. After removal of some factors, this reduces to a linear equation in e. The solution for unsupported films agrees with that previously obtained by Azzam [ J. Phys. (Paris)C10, 67 ( 1993)]; it can be simplified to e = e1 sin2θ1/(cos2θ1 − ρ/τ), where e1 is the dielectric constant of the ambient medium and θ1 is the angle of incidence. Stability of the solution with respect to noise in the data is analyzed.
