  • Methods and apparatus for dishing and erosion characterization
    Patent number: 6810105
    Abstract: The present invention includes a system for efficient and effective detection and characterization of dishing and/or erosion. An x-ray emission inducer is used to scan a target on a sample. The target can be scanned at an acute incident angle to allow characterization of the dishing and/or erosion and analysis of the metallization or thin film layer topology.
