X-ray reflectometry is a powerful and popular scattering technique that can give valuable insight into the structure and growth behavior of thin films. This study [1] shows how a simple artificial neural network model can be used to determine the thickness, roughness and electron density of thin films of different organic semiconductors [diindenoperylene, copper(II) phthalocyanine and α-sexithiophene] on SiO₂ from their reflectivity data with millisecond computation time and with minimal user input or a priori knowledge. For a large experimental data set of 372 XRR curves, it is shown that a simple fully connected model can provide good results with a mean absolute percentage error of 8–18% when compared with the results obtained by a genetic least mean squares fit using the classical Parratt formalism. Furthermore, current drawbacks and prospects for improvement are discussed.
