Abstract
It is shown for the first time that reflection ellipsometry may be an effective method of establishing a correlation between the main parameters of gas-sensitive layers and their optical characteristics, suitable for rapid monitoring. This can advance the capability of predicting the properties of a material from its preparation conditions and consequently can reduce the optimization cycle time and thus lower the cost of a technology.
