ABSTRACT:
X-ray-reflecting mirrors are disclosed that exhibit reduced internal stress without any significant reduction in reflectance to X-rays. The mirrors comprise a substrate on a surface of which a multi-layer structure is formed. The multi-layer structure is formed by alternately and superposedly layering, on a surface of the substrate, a first material (e.g., molybdenum) and a second material (silicon with a dopant such as boron). Net internal stress of the multi-layer structure is controllably reduced by controlling the amount of diffused dopant in the second material.
