Fitting Als Reflectance Data Using Python, R. Steven Turley

Faculty Publications

This article describes how to use the python refl library in https://bitbucket.org/steve_turley/reflectance-fitting to fit thin film reflectance data from the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. It uses data taken for a thin film of aluminum capped by a thin film of aluminum fluoride on a silicon nitride substrate. The single fit in the example shown here shows the importance of taking into account the oxidation of the aluminum layer as part of the fit.
