What it is

The Rigaku MiniFlex II Benchtop is a benchtop X-ray diffractometer. The Rigaku MiniFlex II Benchtop is categorized as metrology and inspection equipment.[3][1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

X-ray diffractometers are analytical tools used outside the main patterning and etch sequence to examine material structure. X-ray diffractometers generally fit in characterization, failure analysis, research, and quality workflows where crystalline phase or structural information is needed from prepared samples. X-ray diffractometers are commonly used after film deposition, powder preparation, material synthesis, or other sample-forming steps, and before interpretation, comparison, or release decisions based on the measured diffraction pattern.

Applications

The Rigaku MiniFlex II can be used for diffraction pattern comparison of polycrystalline materials such as powder samples and metal plates. The Rigaku MiniFlex II can be used for qualitative and quantitative analyses and for quality management of raw materials and products.[2]
