I want to measure the thickness of aluminum oxide and titanium oxide layers deposited on textured glass substates. The layer thicknesses are typically below 100nm.
Dear Dr. Radwa Algazzar ,
I suggest you to have a look at the previous, interesting question, present on RG:
- Layer thickness measurement on glass substrate?

Best regards, Pierluigi Traverso.
Cross-sectional SEM
Do you have access to XRD facilities? If yes, you can use a method called X-ray reflectivity. It is very common and works even for amorphous films.
