What it is

The Rigaku DMAX Rapid Mico is an X-ray diffractometer in the metrology and inspection category. The Rigaku DMAX Rapid Mico family contains the DMAX Rapid Mico model.[3][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An X-ray diffractometer directs X-rays toward a specimen and measures the diffracted signal at selected angles. The measured diffraction pattern is used to infer structural information about the material under test.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Rigaku DMAX Rapid Mico belongs in the measurement flow rather than in a wafer fabrication transformation step. The tool is used after a sample or film has been prepared and before process decisions are finalized on the basis of the measurement result.
