Method for evaluating a lithium niobate thin film and apparatus for preparing the same.

摘要

A method for evaluating a lithium niobate thin film includes measuring an absorption edge wavelength of a lithium niobate thin film and evaluating a lithium-to-niobium composition ratio of the thin film, and an apparatus for preparing a thin film including a thin film-forming body capable of controlling the lithium-to-niobium composition ratio of a lithium niobate thin film being formed and an evaluation device for evaluating the lithium-to-niobium composition ratio, the evaluation device being provided with a monitor substrate, an optical path for spectrometry, an ultraviolet ray source and a measurement part for measuring an absorption edge wavelength of the thin film. <IMAGE>
