Notes:
A versatile ultrahigh-vacuum thin-film deposition and analysis system is described. Films are deposited by electron beam evaporation with the possibility of ion beam bombardment of the growing film. Measurements of the reflectance and/or transmittance of the coating surface can be made simultaneously at 16 wavelengths across the visible or infrared spectrum. Ellipsometric measurements can also be made in situ, at a single wavelength and single angle of incidence, by an ellipsometer which can operate in either an automatic rotating analyzer mode or a manual nulling mode. The system is also equipped with an ion gun producing a submillimeter spot, and with a hemispherical sector, ion energy analyzer for ion scattering spectroscopy studies of the film surface. Results obtained during the deposition of a gold film are presented to demonstrate the capability of the system.
