Abstract
The application of glancing incidence X-ray reflectivity measurements for the investigation of submicrometer thick layers and multilayer stacks which are produced in modern technology processes is discussed. We describe different setups for X-ray reflectivity measurements and computer methods which allow the extraction of various layer parameters from the experimental data.
