摘要
Atomic force microscopy and X-ray reflectivity methods are used to characterize a surface morphology which includes the information of rms roughness, roughness exponent, and the height-height correlation length. Two major reasons to interpret the discrepancy of rms roughness data measured by AFM and X-ray reflectivity are (1) the bandpass of power spectra density is different and (2) the X-ray reflectivity probes the high density buried layer.
