Abstract

A novel method using Fourier transform algorithm is proposed to determine each layer thickness of multi-layered thin films from interference oscillation observed in X-ray specular reflection. The peak position in Fourier space gives each layer thickness of the film. The principle of the present technique as well as its applications are described.
