- the irradiation region in the y-axis direction on the sample surface of the X-ray is limited to the vicinity of the center of the sample 110. Therefore, on the surface of the sample, the region irradiated with X-rays with sufficient intensity is, for example, about 20 mm to 30 mm.
- the spectroscopic element 104 may have a cylindrical shape in which the cross section of the reflecting surface parallel to the sample surface and orthogonal to the X-ray irradiation direction (that is, the y-axis direction) is straight.

Further, the sample table 106 moves the substrate so that the measurement position is located directly below the detector 302. Impurities such as Ni may adhere to the silicon substrate at a semiconductor factory that manufactures or processes the silicon substrate.

The total X-ray intensity irradiated on the sample can be further increased.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the spectroscopic element 104 having a curved surface in the irradiation direction can collect the components emitted in the xz plane of the primary X-ray. This makes it possible to increase the intensity of primary X-rays per unit area irradiated on the surface of the sample 110.

Further, by using the X-ray source 102 having the electron beam focus 201 long in the y-axis direction by the electron beam source 202 long in the y-axis direction, high fluorescent X-ray intensity can be obtained in a wide region in the y-axis direction. .. Specifically, fluorescent X-rays having sufficient intensity for analysis were measured in a region of 30 mm in the x-axis direction and 80 mm in the y-axis direction centered on the center of the substrate. Fluorescent X-rays having sufficient intensity for analysis are appropriately set according to the purpose of analysis and the elements contained in the sample 110. Here, the net strength sufficient for analyzing Ni, which is a trace impurity, is set to 2300.
