Zusammenfassung:A method and system for determining the dielectric constant of a low-k dielectric film on a production substrate include measuring the electronic component of the dielectric constant using an ellipsometer, measuring the ionic component of the dielectric constant using an IR spectrometer, measuring the overall dielectric constant using a microwave spectrometer and deriving the dipolar component of the dielectric constant. The measurements and determination are non-contact and may be carried out on a production device that is further processed following the measurements.
