It is feasible to investigate the thickness of oxide layers on silicon wafers by X-radiation in the 0.1-10 nm thickness range. For example, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a well applicable technique, with information depth of a few nm. Fig. 1 presents the principle of this method. An impinging characteristic X-radiation hν (e.g. Al Kα) count rate ejects Si 2p photoelectrons from the Si-substrate (d), with count rate n2, which, on their way to the electron spectrometer, have to pass through the SiOx-interface (c), the SiO2-layer (b) and the contamination overlayer (a), whereas Si 2p photoelectrons ejected from the SiO2-layer, with count rate n2 have just to penetrate the contamination overlayer. The Si 2p electrons originating from the SiOx-interface, for the situation shown in Fig. 1, can be added to the substrate count rate.

ABSTRACTElectron scattering and diffraction in X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) have been used to characterize GaAs(001) and InP(001) chemically etched surfaces. 6a(3d),As(3d), In(4d) and P(2p) photoelectrons have been observed as a function of polar angles for the two [1–10] and [110] azimuths For kinetic energy range of these photoelectrons the experimental results have been correctly predicted by the single-scattering cluster model with spherical-wave corrections.The problems of quantitative measurements in XPS have been discussed in relation with the diffraction phenomena.

The KMC-1 is a soft x-ray double crystal monochromator beamline for the energy range between 2 and 12 keV. The bending magnet beamline as well as the experiment are under UHV-condition. It incorporates high indexed Si-crystals for high resolution and it is primarily used for HAXPES experiments employing the HIKE (High Kinetic Energy Photoelectron Spectroscopy) chamber.
