Abstract

Determining the period of a grating generating multiple diffraction orders from the data of diffraction angle measurement is not an easy task, mainly because of positioning error. We propose a novel technique, i.e., numerically adjusting the specimen position, to solve the problem. The procedure alone would reduce the amount of uncertainty by two orders of magnitude.
