Abstract
We report a new method for depth-sensitive x-ray diffraction, which is based on high-resolution measurements of extremely asymmetrical Bragg reflections for varying x-ray wavelengths. This method allows a varia tion of the information depth between 0.1 mu m and several mu m and ca n be used to determine the sequence of epitaxial layers in complicated multilayer structures. In addition, the measurement of depth-sensitiv e reciprocal space maps allows a measurement of strain and mosaicity a s a function of depth.
