Extract

Several interesting phenomena involving ultra-soft X-rays and synthetic multilayer crystals were studied as a result of the on-going process of improving the Rigaku Mode] 3630 Wafer Analyzer for the measurement of BPSG (1000-2500 Å) and other thin films.1-3 These phenomena can be divided into four categories; “ghost” peaks, diffraction from the substrate, fluorescence from the multilayer and higher order lines from the multilayer. Each of these is a potential snurce nf error in the measurement of ultra-soft X-rays, Fortunately, as will be shown, each can be readily dealt with.
