Abstract

We propose an electron-probe method for measuring thickness nonuniformity in nanofilms, using the dependence of the ratio of the intensities of the characteristic x-ray film elements on its thickness. The calibration dependence is computed simulating the interaction of electrons with the sample by a Monte-Carlo method.
