It is shown here that the interfacial profile between two bonded wafers can be directly determined using X-ray reflectivity without resorting to standard model-fitting of the data. The phase problem inherent to any structure determination by scattering technique is solved in this case using a known silicon/silicon oxide interface, which acts as a phase reference for the reflected signals.
