Abstract

A method and computer program software product for establishing an areal density of an elemental constituent of one layer of a stack of layers of material overlying a substrate. Incident penetrating radiation excites characteristic x-ray fluorescent radiation in multiple lines associated with each of one or more elements. Areal densities of successive layers are determined by self-consistent solution of equations relating the ratios of intensities of the characteristic fluorescence lines of successive elements.
