The optic multilayer model was constructed based on the sputter depth profiling data obtained by Auger spectroscopy. The optic parameters for the multilayer model are determined by solving the ellipsometry inverse problem using the numerical algorithm developed earlier involving Tikhonov's regularisation technique.
