Description
This six-hour course gives basic knowledge needed to understand which thin film parameters can be determined from x-ray scattering. A special emphasis will be given to the experimental setups required for each application.

Course Contents and Time Table
*Fundamentals of x-ray diffraction
*Phase identification Preferred orientation:
What is crystallographic texture and how is it quantified? Strains and stresses
*Diffraction line profile analysis
*X-ray reflectivity: Density, roughness and thickness determination
*X-ray topography
*X-ray fluorescence

Audience
* Young engineers willing to acquire a specialization in microelectronics technologies and manufacturing management
* People with a recognized technical professional experience, willing to upgrade their knowledge with this officially accredited degree
* Companies wishing to train their newly hired engineers, or to prepare students to be hired by them.

Lecturers
Prof. Olivier THOMAS received a degree in engineering physics from Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble in 1979 and a PhD in Materials Science in 1986 from the same institute. He is leading a research team in laboratoire TECSEN UMR CNRS 6122 focussed on stresses and microstructure in thin films and multilayers. Olivier Thomas is a member of the board of the new Electronic Materials and Processes Division of the French Vacuum Society.
