Abstract Thermal spray layers are formed on rough surfaces; however, the flattening process on rough surfaces has not yet been clarified. A mathematical flattening model which takes into account the roughness of the substrate or previously coated layers is proposed in this paper. As a result of surface roughness, the flattening degree and the flattening time decrease with increasing surface roughness in this model. In addition, the characterization of surface roughness is introduced for the flattening model. Several calculated cases of the flattening model are shown.

ABSTRACTSingle probe infrared low coherence optical interferometry has been proven to be an effective tool for characterization of thin and ultra-thin semiconductor Si and compound materials wafers. Its application was however limited to wafers transparent at probing wavelength, and having relatively smooth surfaces. Purpose of this paper is to present an extension of low coherence interferometry to characterization of non-transparent wafers, and wafers with rough surfaces.

RHEED (reflection high energy electron diffraction) is a technique widely used in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and for the characterization of surfaces in other contexts. Despite its widespread use, however, the interpretation of RHEED has largely been limited to the use of positions of the reflections with no attempt made to use the intensities in the patterns.The reasons for this are related to the complexity of RHEED computations. There are several methods which can be used to calculate RHEED intensities from flat surfaces. However, in MBE (and other crystal growth methods) where RHEED is most often used, the surfaces are rough. Of the dynamical methods for calculating RHEED intensities from flat surfaces, only the modified Cowley-Moodie multislice method with the edge patching algorithm can be applied to rough surfaces without making severe approximations. This method is computationally intensive because the ensemble average over the statistical parameters of the surface cannot be done before the dynamical calculations.
