Microspot Reflectometer - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344980 titled 'Microspot Reflectometer

Simplified Explanation

A reflectometer is designed to test a sample by emitting a light beam onto it. The reflectometer focuses the light beam onto the sample to view its structure/defects using a detector.

  • Light source emits a light beam onto the sample
  • Sample holder holds the sample in place
  • Light beam is focused to a reduced spot size on the sample
  • Detector downstream from the sample views the structure/defects

Key Features and Innovation

  • Reflectometer for testing samples
  • Light beam focused to a reduced spot size
  • Detector used to view structure/defects in the sample

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in various industries such as:

  • Material science
