The line absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurement device is a laboratory-type device (manufactured by Technos, etc.) that uses a curved crystal as a spectroscopic crystal.
has been put into practical use. When synchrotron radiation is used as a light source, a high-resolution device using a single channel-cut spectroscopic crystal can be obtained, but as long as a powerful light source (rotating anticathode) available in the laboratory is used, high resolution can be obtained without reducing sensitivity. Achieving resolution has not been achieved.

る。Furthermore, the thin film measurement method using total internal reflection is the most suitable technique for structural analysis of thin films, which is essential for today's material devices, and for in-situ observation. In this measurement device, while changing the energy of the X-ray beam incident on the thin film, the reflectance is measured by continuously changing the angle of incidence of the incident X-ray beam on the thin film on the substrate for each energy. become.

Therefore, unless a high-brightness X-ray source such as a synchrotron radiation source is used, it is difficult to realize this because the measurement requires a very long time.

In the spectrum measuring device,
A collimator system that irradiates the light flux emitted from the radiation source as parallel light onto the measurement sample surface as white light; a spectral detection means that detects the total energy of the light flux reflected from the measurement sample surface for each monochromatic light component; A total reflection spectrum measuring device is provided, which is characterized by having a mechanism for continuously changing the incident angle of an X-ray beam on a sample surface.

される。In the present invention, the light flux emitted from the X-ray source is irradiated onto the measurement sample surface as parallel light while remaining white light by the collimator system, and while the measurement sample surface is tilted by the mechanism, the spectral detection means detects the light beam from the measurement sample surface. The total energy of the reflected light beam is measured in multiple channels at once. Therefore, measurement can be performed with one θ run, and the measurement time is significantly shortened.
以下本発明を実施例により詳細に説明する。 The present invention will be explained in detail below using examples.

するので、入射角を変化させながら測定が行なわれる。First, with reference to FIG. 2, a total reflection spectrum measurement apparatus previously proposed by the present inventors will be explained. In the same figure, 1
is an X-ray source, 2 is a spectroscopic crystal, 4 is a sample system, 5 is a substrate, 6 is a thin film sample, 9 is a detector, 10 is a beam stopper, 51
-33 indicates a slit system. The white X-rays emitted from the X-ray source I are shaped by a slit system S1, for example 31
The light enters a spectroscopic crystal 2 made of a nearly perfect single crystal such as . The spectroscopic crystal 2 has a predetermined crystal plane (for example, (111))
is set in a predetermined direction with respect to the incident X-ray beam, and X-rays of a predetermined energy are emitted by the spectroscopic crystal 2 after causing Bragg reflection. In this way, the X-ray beam passing through the slit system S2 is made monochromatic. Spectroscopic crystal 2
Channel-cut crystals or combinations of multiple crystals are used. The monochromatic, parallel X-ray beam after passing through the slit S2 is incident on the surface of the thin film sample 6 to be measured,
The reflected light flux from the surface of the thin film sample 6 enters the detector 9 via the slit system S3, and the reflected X-ray intensity is measured. Since the X-ray reflectance from the surface of the thin film sample 6 depends on the incident angle of the X-ray beam, measurement is performed while changing the incident angle.

とき、検出器9の方位は2θとなるように、薄膜試料6

Interlocking rotation is performed around the X-ray beam incident point on the surface (knifetsu position yl (8 in FIG. 2)).

かるため改善の余地があった。However, in order to measure the total reflection spectrum of a thin film, it is necessary to repeat such measurements for X-ray beams of multiple energies. Figure 3 shows three types of energy J+E.
The case of 2+E3 is shown, but in order to further improve the resolution, measurements must be repeated for X-ray beams with more energy, and this takes a huge amount of time, so there is room for improvement.

となる。To explain the operation, white X-rays emitted from the X-ray light source 11 are shaped into a parallel beam by the slit system Sll, 312, and then enter the surface of the thin film sample 14 as white light. Incident angle θ of the white X-ray beam with respect to the surface of the thin film sample 14 and orientation 2θ of the detection system that should detect the reflected white X-ray beam
are rotated in conjunction with each other by a mechanism (not shown) that can be easily constructed using well-known technology. Note that in reality, θ is a small angle of about several tens of minutes, so there is often no need to rotate it. The white X-ray beam reflected from the surface of the thin film sample 14 is transmitted to the spectroscopic crystal 1
7 and received by a position-sensitive X-ray detector 18. Since this position-sensitive X-ray detector 18 is configured to be able to detect each monochromatic light component at each light receiving site (channel), the entire energy spectrum is detected simultaneously. Therefore, according to this apparatus, the reflectance from the surface of the thin film sample 14 is measured for each energy at the same time, so that the measurement can be carried out in a short time.

Alternatively, a semiconductor solid-state detector (SSD) with energy resolution can also be used.

Since data can be obtained, this method is superior to the case where scans are repeatedly performed for each energy in that there is no angular error at all.
