The paper reviews the process for comparing PSD's generated by profile measurements and scatter measurements. Rayleigh scatter as a noise source is reviewed and a new polarization based measurement is presented for discrimination between roughness scatter and particulate scatter. AFM results are compared for both a molybdenum mirror and a silicon wafer. The mirror compares well but two dimensional detrending technique used impacts the results for the wafer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
