Abstract:
1. A method for measuring suicide proportions, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a measurement substrate including: irradiating the measurement substrate with X-rays; measuring the intensity of hard X-rays or ultra-soft X-rays emitted from the dopant in the doped layer by the irradiation with the X-rays, and the intensity of hard X-rays emitted from the metal in the silicide layer by the irradiation with the X-rays; calculating proportions of the plurality of types of silicides in the silicide layer, from either the intensities of the two types of the hard X-rays or the intensities of the ultra-soft X-rays and the hard X-rays emitted from the metal; and calculating the given temperature from either the intensities of the two types of the hard X-rays or the intensities of the ultra-soft X-rays and the hard X-rays emitted from the metal.
