Latest Patents

Shao Yang holds a patent for "Instruments for analyzing binding assays based on attenuation of light by thin films." This invention features a modified and improved polarizer ellipsometer that enhances signal quality and signal-to-noise performance. The improvement is achieved by rotating one polarizer relative to a fixed polarizer, generating AC mode signals related to the thin film under analysis. The AC mode signal can be compared to a background signal, allowing for a more accurate assessment of film thickness. The normalized AC signal for an unknown thickness can be compared to a standard curve generated for a film with similar optical properties, enabling precise thickness determination. Additionally, modifications to the improved polarizer ellipsometer are described, where one or both fixed polarizers are removed to enhance signal intensity by reducing the number of optical components. These modifications are tailored to address specific thin film and substrate combinations.
