Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of a first generation inline X-ray diffractometer for the characterization of polycrystalline thin films. The tool is able to provide quantitative structural data on either blanket or patterned wafers, which allows it to serve as a routine line monitor, or as an analytical probe for process development, tool matching, or problem diagnostics.
