摘要： An x-ray detection system (400) for detecting a deflected X-ray beam (206) from a sample (204) comprising a detector (402) having an array of pixels enabled to receive the X-ray beam area at the detector (402), a image processing means (404) for reading out a sample image from the detector (402) and a region of interest extraction means (406, 408) for extracting a sub-image of a first area from the sample image. The sub-image is typically a narrow strip of the array of pixels to obtain a “virtual slit” image or a circular area of the array of pixels to obtain a “virtual aperture” image. More than one sub-image may be extracted from the sample image taken from the detector (402).

摘要： An X-ray topographic system comprises an X-ray generator producing a beam of X-rays impinging on a limited area of a sample such as a silicon wafer. A solid state detector is positioned to intercept the beam after transmission through or reflection from the sample. The detector has an array of pixels matching the beam area to produce a digital image of said limited area. Relative stepping motion between the X-ray generator and the sample produces a series of digital images which are combined together. In optional embodiments, an X-ray optic is interposed to produce a parallel beam to avoid image doubling, or the effect of image doubling is removed by software.

摘要： Apparatus for inspection of a disk, which includes a crystalline material and has first and second sides. The apparatus includes an X-ray source, which is configured to direct a beam of X-rays to impinge on an area of the first side of the disk. An X-ray detector is positioned to receive and form input images of the X-rays that are diffracted from the area of the first side of the disk in a reflective mode. A motion assembly is configured to rotate the disk relative to the X-ray source and detector so that the area scans over a circumferential path in proximity to an edge of the disk. A processor is configured to process the input images formed by the X-ray detector along the circumferential path so as to generate a composite output image indicative of defects along the edge of the disk.

摘要： A method for analysis includes directing a converging beam of X-rays toward a surface of a sample having multiple single-crystal layers, including at least a first layer and a second layer that is formed over and tilted relative to the first layer. The X-rays that are diffracted from each of the first and second layers are sensed simultaneously while resolving the sensed X-rays as a function of angle so as to generate a diffraction spectrum including at least a first diffraction peak due to the first layer and a second diffraction peak due to the second layer. The diffraction spectrum is analyzed so as to identify a characteristic of at least the second layer.
