摘要

X-ray reflectometry (XRR) provides researchers and manufacturers with anon-destructive way to determine thickness, roughness, and density of thinfilms deposited on smooth substrates. Due to the nested nature of equationsmodeling this phenomenon, the inter-relation between instrument alignment andparameter estimation accuracy is somewhat opaque. In this study, weintentionally shift incident angle information contained in a high-quality XRRdata set and refine this shifted data using an identical structural model toassess the effect angle misalignment has on parameter estimation. We develop aseries of calibration curves relating data misalignment to variation with layerthickness and density for a multilayer GaAs/AlAs Certified Reference Materialon a GaAs substrate. We then test the validity and robustness of severalapproaches of using known thickness and density parameters from this structureto calibrate instrument alignment. We find the highest sensitivity to andlinearity with measurement misalignment from buried AlAs and GaAs layers, incontrast to the surface layers, which show the most instability. This is afortuitous result, as buried AlAs and GaAs exhibit the highest long-termstability in thickness. Therefore, it is indeed possible to use referencethickness estimates to validate XRR angle alignment accuracy. Buried layer massdensity information also shows promise as a robust calibration approach. Thisis suprising, as electron density of buried layers is both a highly-correlatedphenomenon, and a subtle component in the XRR model.
