Abstract
A hard X-ray microbeam is a key technology for third-generation high-brilliance synchrotron radiation sources such as SPring-8. A Fresnel zone plate (FZP) is one of the promising focusing elements for X-rays. A multilayer (sputtered–sliced) FZP is suitable for use in hard X-ray region, because large thickness can be available. Zone (multilayer interface) roughness is inevitable to the multilayer FZP, which results in the inferior-focusing characteristic. Some Cu/Al concentric multilayers were fabricated by DC sputtering deposition. In order to reduce the oblique incidence of sputtered atoms on the wire substrate, a cylindrical slit was placed between the target and the wire substrate. As a result, the interface roughness was improved with very good repeatability.
