ABSTRACT:
A system and method of characterizing a parameter of an ultra thin film, such as a gate oxide layer. A system is disclosed that includes a structure having a pseudo substrate positioned below an ultra thin film, wherein the pseudo substrate includes an optical mirror for enhancing an optical response; and a system for characterizing the ultra thin film by applying a light source to the ultra thin film and analyzing the optical response.
