Abstract
A rapid, nondestructive opaque thin-film thickness measurement system is presented which takes into account the anisotropy of the sample under study and the geometry of the minature acoustic probe. Experimental results obtained using this system on W/Si (100) samples are in good agreement with those made using the Rutherford backscattering technique.
