What it is
The Rigaku TXRF-3760 is a metrology and inspection instrument.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTotal reflection x-ray fluorescence instruments direct x-rays onto a very smooth sample at a shallow angle so that the beam is reflected rather than deeply absorbed.
The reflected excitation produces characteristic fluorescent x-rays from elements present on or near the surface, and the instrument detects those emissions to infer elemental contamination or film composition.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Rigaku TXRF-3760 belongs in metrology after process steps that can leave trace surface contamination, residue, or film-composition uncertainty.
The Rigaku TXRF-3760 supports process monitoring between fabrication steps by checking wafer surfaces before additional deposition, lithography, etch, or cleanup operations proceed.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Rigaku TXRF-3760 is suited to elemental contamination checks on wafer surfaces.
The Rigaku TXRF-3760 is also suited to thin-film composition screening and residue analysis in microfabrication flows.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of contaminants can a TXRF system detect?General reference — not yet source-verified
A TXRF system detects trace metals and other elements above a certain atomic number, typically covering transition metals and heavier elements. Lighter elements are not efficiently detected because their fluorescent yields are low and their X-ray energies are also low.
Is TXRF analysis destructive to the wafer?General reference — not yet source-verified
No, TXRF is a non-destructive technique in standard operation. The sample remains intact and can undergo further processing or analysis.
How sensitive is TXRF for surface contamination?General reference — not yet source-verified
TXRF provides detection sensitivity that is adequate for the most stringent semiconductor cleanliness specifications, allowing measurement of trace residues at very low areal concentrations on wafer surfaces.
