A sample is mounted on a sample base. A detector is provided on the sample base, and detects a fluorescent X-ray generated from the sample, and a scattered X-ray of an incident X-ray when the sample is irradiated with the incident X-ray. A controller controls the sample base and an operation of the detector. The controller sequentially changes an incident angle of the incident X-ray to the sample so as to detect the fluorescent X-ray generated from the sample at each incident angle, and the scattered X-ray of the incident X-ray. Next, the controller obtains the relationship between the incident angle of the incident X-ray to the sample and a standard value obtained by standardizing intensity of the fluorescent X-ray by intensity of the scattered X-ray. Then, the controller corrects the incident angle of the incident X-ray to the sample based on the obtained relationship. Moreover, the controller corrects the positional relationship between an irradiation position of the incident X-ray to the sample and said detector based on the obtained relationship. In this case, the correction of the incident angle of the incident X-ray to said sample is made after ending the correction of the positional relationship.

According to one embodiment, a heat treatment apparatus includes a light emitting unit to emit light to irradiate a wafer, a processing unit with a stage section and a control unit. The control unit implements a first irradiation to irradiate the light onto the wafer. After the first irradiation, the control unit changes at least one selected from a disposition of the wafer, a distribution of an intensity of the light on a major surface of the stage section along a circumferential edge direction of the wafer, and a distribution of a temperature of the wafer in a supplemental heating by the stage section along a circumferential edge direction of the wafer. After the changing, the control unit implements a second irradiation to irradiate the light onto the wafer. Durations of the first irradiation and the second irradiation are shorter than a time necessary for the changing.

摘要:
A surface processing method effected before the total-reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis is effected is disclosed. The surface processing is to modify all of the contaminants attached at least to the measurement surface of the wafer into particle-shaped residues. For this purpose, the measurement surface of the wafer is first dissolved by hydrofluoric acid to form a large number of droplets on the measurement surface. Next, the thus formed droplets are dried with the position thereof kept unchanged. After the drying, contaminants attached to the measurement surface of the wafer are left as particle-shaped residues. After this, the measurement surface of the wafer is analyzed by the total-reflection X-ray fluorescence analyzing method.
