e seen that large θ (here, θ is used to <strong>de</strong>note the term √ sin 2 θ k+1 − sin 2 θ k ) corresponds<br />

to small thicknesses and hence from large θ we estimate the smaller pattern<br />

thickness and from small θ the total thickness.<br />

Figure 2.10: A typical XRR spectrum obtained from SRSO/SRSN ML with a zoom of<br />

the interferences leading to total thickness <strong>de</strong>termination in the inset.<br />

(ii) In non-specular mo<strong>de</strong>, the reection is obtained by xing the inci<strong>de</strong>nt beam<br />

at θ c and moving the <strong>de</strong>tector slightly around θ c , (θ c ±δθ). Rotating the <strong>de</strong>tector<br />

around the critical angle enables <strong>de</strong>tection of the scattered beams from a rough<br />

surface. High angular resolution is nee<strong>de</strong>d to separate the scattered beams from the<br />

reected ones.<br />

All the samples investigated in this thesis were analyzed using XRR in specular<br />

2.2.4 Raman Spectroscopy<br />

Principle<br />

Raman spectroscopy is a complementary technique of FTIR and is very sensitive to<br />

homopolar bonds. Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopic technique that<br />

relies on the principle of scattering of a monochromatic light by molecular vibrations<br />

and phonons. This scattering is classied into two parts: Elastic (Rayleigh) and<br />
