Thin Film XRD - Materials Characterization Lab
Characterization of thin films can be performed to identify properties including the composition, crystal structure, preferred orientation, and film thickness. The MCL has a few thin-film characterization tools, including the X’Pert XRD (x-ray diffraction) and the Hitachi TM 3030+ SEM (EDS or energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy).
Advantage of X-ray diffraction (XRD) method • Probed depth control by incidence angle • Nondestructive • Measurement under atmosphere pressure 4 What can we see? • Thickness, Density, Roughness • Phase Identification – Interface, transition layer, etc • Crystal structure – Crystal quality, lattice parameter, etc • Crystal ...
Back-to-Basics tutorial: X-ray diffraction of thin films
2021年10月13日 · X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an indispensable tool for characterising thin films of electroceramic materials. For the beginner, however, it can be a daunting technique at first due to the number of operation modes and measurements types, as well as the interpretation of the resultant patterns and scans.
In this tutorial article, we provide a foundation for the thin-film engi-neer/scientist conducting their first measurements using XRD. We give a brief introduction of the principle of difraction and description of the instrument, detailing the relevant operation modes.

Glancing Angle X-ray Diffraction (GAXRD) is introduced as a direct, non-destructive, surface-sensitive technique for analysis of thin films. The method was applied to polycrystalline thin films (namely, titanium oxide, zinc selenide, cadmium selenide and combinations thereof) obtained by electrochemical growth, in order to determine the composition
