Semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and more complex, making thin deposited films even harder to measure and control. With 3nm node devices in production and 2nm nodes ramping toward ...

Abstract: Understanding materials properties depends largely on the ability to determine its components, and in particular its mineral phases. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool for ...
