Welcome to the ApiBara blog

A short note on what to expect from this blog — measurement notes, method walkthroughs, and field reports from the XRD/XRR lab.

Welcome! This is the first post on the ApiBara Semiconductor blog. Over time, I will write my notes here on:

  • High-resolution XRD workflows for epitaxial and heterostructure characterisation
  • XRR measurement and analysis strategies for thin-film thickness, density and roughness
  • Method design for routine production control vs. R&D investigations
  • Short field reports from real measurement campaigns

Why a blog?

I have always liked writing technical articles from my past hobby making electronics / radio prototypes, remote sensing, and data analysis exploration. Writing recurring issues in x-ray diffraction from my past experience — properly, with figures and worked examples — beats explaining them over and over again.

If there's a topic you'd like covered, send me a note.

Thanks for reading!
