Above Figure A4-SS-2 displays spectrum from typical ENEPIG plated Cu sample (no epoxy) and spectrum from one ounce
Cu/epoxy (blue trace). Note the Red peak near Br is the Au L-β peak without any Br interference since the substrate for this
sample had no epoxy. The figure illustrates how close the energies are between the Au L-β peak and the Br K-α (blue trace,
marked as Br). Without peak deconvolution these peaks would be summed as one peak and erroneously interpreted as
immersion Au thickness.

Above Figure A4-SS-3 displays spectrum from typical ENEPIG plated on pure Cu (no epoxy) and typical ENEPIG plated
on one ounce Cu/epoxy (red trace). In the case of ENEPIG on one ounce Cu, the Br peak is added to the Au peak (seen in
blue with no Br interference). The red peak (Br + Au) is higher which results in a higher thickness measurement if peak
deconvolution is not used. Also note the Pd peak. The red Pd peak from the once ounce Cu sample is slightly higher than
the blue Pd peak because the background level scattered from the epoxy base raises the Pd peak a bit higher. Again with-
out correction or proper calibration, this would be interpreted as slightly higher Pd thickness. Both effects will vary as the
Cu thickness varies. Also x-ray beam size and position on the sample relative to its edges can affect the level of these inter-
ferences.

Above Figure A4-SS-4 shows typical ENEPIG plated on one ounce Cu/epoxy sample when measured with a pin diode detec-
tor. Note how Au L-β and Br K-α peaks are better resolved and the Au L-α peak is visible and distinct from Cu K-β, allow-
ing measurement of Au intensity without need for peak overlap corrections like peak deconvolution. Also note clear Pd peak
with low background noise.
