Substrate Characterization

OptiChar allows you to characterize substrates on the basis of photometric and ellipsometric data. The set of substrate characterization models is the same as for layer characterization.  The only difference is that the thickness of the substrate is not determined in the course of the substrate characterization procedure.You have to specify the thickness of the substrate before starting the characterization procedure.
