TFCompanion Materials Tutorial © 2004 SemiconSoft, Inc. TFCompanion ver. 2.65
What’s in Tutorial You will learn: • What material types are supported • How to import/export materials and create material library • How to create new materials • How to find initial values of parameterized materials
What material types are supported How to import/export materials and create material library How to create new materials How to find initial values of parameterized materials
Material Types TFCompanion supports Tabular and Parameterized materials. • Tabular materials are represented by the list (table) of optical constants at fixed wavelengths • Parameterized materials are represented by dispersion expressions
Tabular Materials • Tabular materials data is taken from the different sources e.g. “Optical constants of Solids”, ed. By E. Palik • New tabular materials can be created with data either imported from text file or input manually in the table
Parameterized materials Following materials are currently supported: • Cauchy • Cauchy (dielectric) • CauchyK(both n and k) • CauchyKExp(exponential k) • Sellmeier • Oscillator • Harmonic oscillator • Tauc-Lorentz oscillator • Drude-Lorentz oscillator
Parameterized materials • Effective Medium approximation(EMA) • Bruggeman(2 &3 constituents) • Compound (composition interpolation) • Form Birefringence (microstructure induced anisotropy) New Parameterized materials can be created and edited

Materials Data Import/Export • TFCompanion supports import and export of Tabular materials from/to text file • SOPRA and TFCompanion material formats are supported • Examples of material files are in /materials/matfiles/ directory in TFCompanion installation
Materials Data Import/Export • Material data can be imported in Material Editor(import/export) or Material Library (only import) dialogs. In the next slides we will review the steps to IMPORT and EXPORT materials data.
Material Import/Export • Using Material Editor is a preferred way to Import (and the only way to Export) material to/from text files; • Material library dialog is useful when one needs to: • Create new library or open another library and import materials to this • Import many material files

Create New Material • Material can be edited manually • Default wavelength range(min/max) and number of points of the new materials can be customized using Configuration Dialog. • Material can be modified using templates We will discuss these options on the next few slides
Material can be edited manually Material can be modified using templates Templates are set in Customization Dialog Default wavelength range(min/max) and number of points of the new materials can be customized using Customization Dialog
