Navigation:  Overview > About Tutorial 1

The examples discussed in this tutorial show the basic features of SCOUT. You should go through them before you start your own 'real' SCOUT work.

 

Example 1: Carrier concentration from IR reflectance

Definition of a simple optical constant model, a simple layer stack and a simple infrared reflectance spectrum. Manual, visual and automatic parameter fitting.

 

Example 2: Epilayer thickness from IR reflectance

Modification of an existing SCOUT configuration. Thickness determination from interference pattern analysis.

 

Example 3: Silver layer on glass, thickness determination

Setting up a model making use of the database of optical constants. Treating thick substrates with incoherent superposition of partial waves. Simple thickness determination in the visible spectral range.

 

Example 4: Remote control by OLE automation

Control SCOUT from outside by OLE automation. Use VisualBasic as macro language to compute spectra and fill Excel tables with spectra data.
