CompleteEASE Course 2025 October

Quantum Design GmbH together with the J.A. Woollam Co., Inc. is happy to announce the next course on CompleteEASE Ellipsometry Data Analysis that targets intermediate to advanced user. Students should have at least some ellipsometry experience and a proficiency with CompleteEASE software. The course will be divided into sessions that include thin and thick film analysis, transparent and absorbing layers, graded, Parameterized Optical Constants Layers, in-situ. To support the lectures, participants will work examples on individual computers (participants need to bring their own notebook).
