14. The dielectric constant was assumed to be 2.7 to calculate thickness from unit area capacitance. The measured ellipsometry data are Δ = 98.37° ± 0.15° and ψ = 22.13° ± 0.12°, in a region where determination of the refractive index is uncertain. The wavelength is 6328 Å and the incident angle is 70°. Assuming a refractive index of 1.597, a thickness of 529.5 nm (a base thickness of 39.5 nm and 2 cycles of 245.0 nm) yields the least root sum square error of 1.95° at Δ = 97.62° and ψ = 20.33°.
