Surface roughness was simulated by creation of artificial relief using a two-dimension orthogonal grating (random phase mask). Quadratic ˇ°defectsˇ± in the line were subjected to stochastic law of distribution. The ˇ°defectsˇ± were produced by etching in depth up to 1 ¦Ěm and their sizes were equal to 25x25 ¦Ěm and 2.5x2.5 ¦Ěm on each of materials. The impact of sizes of artificial ˇ°defectsˇ± and their density upon polarization of reflected light was investigated by the multiple-angles-of-incidence ellipsometric measurements at wavelength 0.63¦Ěm. For the first time, a random phase mask was used for simulation of rough surface. %K Roughness %K Optical Properties %K Ellipsometry %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.eee.20120206.10.html
