A purpose-build infrared spectroscopic ellipsometer is presented that enables to investigate sample areas of less than 1 mm2 with monolayer sensitivity. This sensitivity is achieved for films on metallic as well as on semiconducting substrates by utilizing radiation from an infrared synchrotron beamline at BESSY II. Measurement principle and performance of the instrument are discussed on selected examples and an outline of the recently performed upgrade of the set-up is given. It is shown how thickness, structure and composition of patterned nanofilms can be characterized by evaluation of the infrared ellipsometric parameters [2]. This is of technological relevance to investigate the functionality of e.g. stimuli responsive 1D polymer brush gradient films, biodiagnostic arrays or monomolecular films for solar cell applications.
