Abstract: An ellipsometric metrology apparatus for a sample contained in a chamber. A light source outside the chamber produces the illuminating beam. A polarizing device outside the chamber polarizes the illuminating beam. A window of selected dimensions and features is disposed in a plane substantially parallel to the sample surface and at least partly closes the chamber. A first directing device directs the polarized illuminating beam on to an area of the sample along a first optical path extending from the polarizing device to the area of the sample through the window. The first optical path forms a predetermined oblique angle of incidence relative to the sample surface. A polarization analyzing device is outside the chamber, a second directing device directs the reflected beam resulting from the illumination of the sample by the illuminating beam on to the analyzing device along a second optical path extending from the sample towards the analyzing device through the window. The reflected beam is symmetrical to the illuminating beam relative to a normal to the sample surface. A detecting device detects the output beam transmitted by the analyzing device in order to supply an output signal processing means processes the output signal in order to determine the changes in stage of polarization in phase and in amplitude caused by the reflection on the area of the sample.

Abstract: A pneumatic rotary tool has a housing formed primarily from plastic so that the weight and price of the tool are substantially reduced. The air motor is formed for economic assembly while permitting greater structural stability should the housing deflect under an impact. The tool includes a torque selector which controls the amount of pressurized air allowed to enter the air motor, thereby controlling the torque output of the motor. The user may adjust the torque selector to a number of set positions which correspond to discrete torque values. The tool additionally incorporates early and late stage exhaust ports, so that backpressure within the air motor does not slow motor rotation or decrease tool power.
