It is not easy to evaluate the accuracy of the fit. However, a Rigaku specialist told us that the value of the thickness should be accurate within 1 nm, as it is mostly based on the oscillation frequency, which is relatively simple to fit. The accuracy of the thickness determination probably decreases, however, if there are many layers or graded layers, although those can be included in the fit.
