چکیده

The reciprocal space structures of Si backside rough surfaces were studied using an in-plane light scattering technique. A diode array detector was used to collect the angular distribution of the scattered intensity. The diffraction profiles are interpreted based on the theory of diffraction from a self-affine rough surface. Roughness parameters such as interface width, lateral correlation length, and the roughness exponent, are extracted from the profiles and are compared to that obtained by real space imaging techniques such as atomic force microscopy and stylus profilometry. Factors that limit the accuracy of light scattering measurements are discussed. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~98!08817-3#

Sea Surfaces Scattering by Multi-Order Small-Slope Approximation: a Monte-Carlo and Analytical Comparison

L-band electromagnetic scattering from two-dimensional random rough sea surfaces are calculated by first- and second-order Small-Slope Approximation (SSA1, 2) methods. Both analytical and numerical computations are utilized to calculate incoherent normalized radar cross-section (NRCS) in mono- and bi-static cases. For evaluating inverse Fourier transform, inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) i...

Roughness characterization of well-polished surfaces by measurements of light scattering distribution

According to vector scattering and scalar scattering theory, the relationship of BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function) of light scattering from micro-rough surface with TIS (total integrated scattering) is analyzed. Roughness statistical characterization such as RMS (root mean square), PSD (power spectral density) function are deduced by TIS of polished surface. Based on the li...
