1、Designation: E2387 05 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forGoniometric Optical Scatter Measurements1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2387; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes procedures for determining theamount and angular distribution of optical scatter from asurface. In partic
3、ular it focuses on measurement of the bidi-rectional scattering distribution function (BSDF). BSDF is aconvenient and well accepted means of expressing opticalscatter levels for many purposes. It is often referred to as thebidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) whenconsidering reflec
4、tive scatter or the bidirectional transmittancedistribution function (BTDF) when considering transmissivescatter.1.2 The BSDF is a fundamental description of the appear-ance of a sample, and many other appearance attributes (suchas gloss, haze, and color) can be represented in terms ofintegrals of t
5、he BSDF over specific geometric and spectralconditions.1.3 This practice also presents alternative ways of present-ing angle-resolved optical scatter results, including directionalreflectance factor, directional transmittance factor, and differ-ential scattering function.1.4 This practice applies to
6、 BSDF measurements on opaque,translucent, or transparent samples.1.5 The wavelengths for which this practice applies includethe ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions. Difficulty inobtaining appropriate sources, detectors, and low scatter opticscomplicates its practical application at wavelength
7、s less thanabout 0.2 m (200 nm). Diffraction effects start to becomeimportant for wavelengths greater than 15 m (15 000 nm),which complicate its practical application at longer wave-lengths. Measurements pertaining to visual appearance arerestricted to the visible wavelength region.1.6 This practice
8、 does not apply to materials exhibitingsignificant fluorescence.1.7 This practice applies to flat or curved samples ofarbitrary shape. However, only a flat sample is addressed in thediscussion and examples. It is the users responsibility to definean appropriate sample coordinate system to specify th
9、e mea-surement location on the sample surface and appropriate beamproperties for samples that are not flat.1.8 This practice does not provide a method for ascribingthe measured BSDF to any scattering mechanism or source.1.9 This practice does not provide a method to extrapolatedata from one waveleng
10、th, scattering geometry, sample loca-tion, or polarization to any other wavelength, scattering geom-etry, sample location, or polarization. The user must makemeasurements at the wavelengths, scattering geometries,sample locations, and polarizations that are of interest to his orher application.1.10
11、Any parameter can be varied in a measurement se-quence. Parameters that remain constant during a measurementsequence are reported as either header information in thetabulated data set or in an associated document.1.11 The apparatus and measurement procedure are generic,so that specific instruments a
12、re neither excluded nor implied inthe use of this practice.1.12 For measurements performed for the semiconductorindustry, the operator should consult Practice SEMI ME 1392.1.13 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibili
13、ty of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

34、ectly reflecting specularsurface as measured by the instrument. The instrument signa-ture includes contributions from the size of the incident lightbeam at the receiver aperture, the diffraction of that beam, andstray scatter from instrument components. For high-sensitivitysystems (those whose NEDSF
35、 strives for levels below about10-6sr-1), the limitation on instrument signature is normallyRayleigh scatter from molecules within the volume of theincident light beam that is sampled by the receiver field ofview. The instrument signature can be measured by removingthe sample and scanning the receiv

The signature can also bemeasured by scanning a reference sample, whose scatter isexpected to be significantly lower than that of the specimenbeing studied, in which case the signature is adjusted bydividing by the reference sample reflect

If the same detector is used to measure theincident power and the scattered flux, then it is not necessary tocorrect for the detector resp

A fiducial mark must be shown atthe periphery of the sample; it is most conveniently placedalong either the X or Y axes. If the sample fiducial mark is notan X axis mark, the intended value should be indicated on thesample. The incident and scatter directions are measured in thebeam coordinate system (XB, YB, ZB). The Z and ZB axes arealways the local normal to the sample face.3.2.25 sa
