PANalytical's X'Pert PRO Materials Research Diffractometer is the most flexible system available for X-ray diffraction studies for:
• Advanced materials science and nanotechnology
• Metrologic characterization in semiconductor process development

It can handle a wide range of applications, and is especially suitable for thin film analysis applications such as:
• Rocking curve analysis and reciprocal space mapping
• Reflectometry and thin film phase analysis
• Residual stress and texture analysis

As well as the proven standard version of the Panalytical XPert PRO MRD system, a number of special versions exist:
• With the XPert PRO MRD system for in-plane diffraction, it becomes possible to measure diffraction from lattice planes that are perpendicular to the sample surface
• The X'Pert PRO Extended MRD allows mounting of an X-ray mirror and a high-resolution monochromator in-line, increasing the intensity of the incident beam
• The X'Pert PRO MRD XL meets all the high-resolution XRD analysis requirements of the semiconductors, thin films, and advanced materials industries
• By facilitating analysis of wafers up to 300 mm in diameter, with a sophisticated, automatic wafer loader option, the X'Pert PRO MRD XL becomes an advanced tool for thin film process development
