Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have applied GI-SAXS method as inspection tool to investigate the geometrical information of the nanopore or dot structures and discussed the validity of these results. At first, we developed the GI-SAXS instruments that establishes the traceability to the SI. In the validation measurement, we have measured the pitch of 1-dimensional grating and compared the result with its reference value measured by AFM. Next, we have obtained the scattering intensity distribution from Tungsten Dot-array and considered the method to analyze the dot structures.
