Abstract

Root mean square measurements of the Si(001)/SiO2 interface have been performed with a variety of techniques. Using X-ray diffraction to represent the diffraction class of techniques, and atomic force microscopy to represent imaging techniques, we discuss the effect that limitations of each technique have on experimental results.
