Spectroscopic ellipsometry is a potent method that is widely adopted for the measurement of thin film thickness and refractive index. However, a conventional ellipsometer, which utilizes a mechanically rotating polarizer and grating-based spectrometer for spectropolarimetric detection, is bulky, complex, and does not allow real-time measurements. Here, we demonstrated a compact metasurface array-based spectroscopic ellipsometry system that allows single-shot spectropolarimetric detection and accurate determination of thin film properties without any mechanical movement. The silicon-based metasurface array with a highly anisotropic and diverse spectral response is combined with iterative optimization to reconstruct the full Stokes polarization spectrum of the light reflected by the thin film with high fidelity. Subsequently, the film thickness and refractive index can be determined by fitting the measurement results to a proper material model with high accuracy. Our approach opens up a new pathway towards a compact and robust spectroscopic ellipsometry system for the high throughput measurement of thin film properties.

采用红外椭圆偏振光谱法研究了掺镁InN薄膜的自由载流子特性。比较了两组具有代表性的通过分子束外延生长的具有从$1.2\times10^{17}$ cm $^{-3}$到$8\times10^{20}$ cm $^{-3}$的Mg浓度的极性InN。P-型导电性表示的Mg浓度范围为$1\times10^{18}$ cm $^{-3}$到$9\times10^{19}$ cm $^{-3}$从纵向光学声子等离子体加宽和迁移率参数的Mg浓度的依赖性的系统调查。一个参数化的模型,占的声子-等离子体激元耦合被施加到确定的自由载流子浓度和迁移率参数的掺杂的块状InN层,以及GAN模板和未掺杂的InN缓冲层为每个样品。第二样品组中的自由载流子性质与先前报道的第一样品组的综合分析中确定的结果一致[Schöche等人,J. Appl.Phys.113,013502(2013)]。在第二组中,具有$2.3\times10^{20}$ cm $^{-3}$的Mg浓度的两个样品被识别为具有非常低的电子浓度的补偿n型InN,其适合于进一步研究通常由高电子浓度控制的本征材料性质,即使在未掺杂的InN中。补偿的n型InN样品可以清楚地从类似的等离子体频率的p型导电材料的强烈减少的声子等离子体激元展宽区分。
