A multichannel detection system with a grating spectrometer was employed for rapid spectroscopic ellipsometrymeasurements. Although a grating spectrometer is convenient for dispersing light, it suffers from overlappingorders. Here, we developed novel techniques toeliminateoverlapping orders of spectra from a reflection grating.First, an optical filter is properly positioned inthemeasurement system. Second, a numerical filter isdeveloped. A monochromatic source was used to deducethe exact amount of the overlapping orders, which weredetermined as the irradiance ratio of the second- to thefirst-order diffraction. The ratios were found to beincreased from 5 to 11% in the 1.5-2.5 eV region. Weused the values to correct for overlapping irradianceusingthe numerical filter. Finally, second-order reflectioninreal-time rotating element spectroellipsograms were corrected using the filters developed in this work.
