摘要
This article describes the optical constants of GaAs from 0.73 to 6.60 eV determined using spectroscopic ellipsometry. Our setup includes a computer-controlled MgF2 Berek waveplate compensator, which allows exact measurements of the ellipsometric angle Delta below the band gap. Therefore, our data are very accurate over a broad range. We apply our results to determine thicknesses and optical properties of various dielectrics (SiO2, silicon nitride, and sputtered AlN) on GaAs.
