Title:
SURFACE MICROSTRUCTURE MEASURING METHOD, SURFACE MICROSTRUCTURE MEASUREMENT DATA ANALYZING METHOD, AND X-RAY SCATTERING MEASURING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/119844
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a surface microstructure measuring method enabling accurate measurement of the microstructure of a surface and evaluation of the three-dimensional structural features, a surface microstructure measuring program, and an X-ray scattering intensity measuring device. According to the surface microstructure measuring method, X-rays are made to strike the surface of a sample at a very small incident angle, the scattering intensity is measured, a sample model in which one or more layers are formed in the direction perpendicular to the surface and unit structures are arrayed periodically in the layers in the direction parallel to the surface is tentatively made on the basis of the surface microstructure, the scattering intensity of X-rays scattered by the microstructure is calculated in consideration of the effects of the refraction and reflection caused by the layers, the X-ray scattering intensity calculated using the sample model is fitted in the measured scattering intensity, and an optimum value of a parameter specifying the shape of the unit structure is determined according to the result of the fitting. With this, the microstructure can be measured accurately.
