The Malvern Panalytical X'Pert MRD is an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) system. The X'Pert MRD has a vintage of 2010.[1]
What it is
The Malvern Panalytical X'Pert MRD is an X-ray diffractometer (XRD).[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn X-ray diffractometer directs a collimated X-ray beam at a sample and measures the angles and intensities of the diffracted X-rays. The diffraction pattern is used to identify crystal structures and defects.
High-resolution X-ray diffractometers can perform rocking curve measurements and reciprocal space mapping to evaluate thin film quality and epitaxial layer perfection.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn semiconductor manufacturing, X-ray diffractometers are used for metrology of thin films and epitaxial layers. Measurements are typically performed after deposition or growth steps to verify crystalline quality, lattice mismatch, and stress.
The data from XRD analysis feeds back into process control for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, and other thin-film deposition techniques.
