We report a novel hard x-ray interferometer consisting of two parallel channels manufactured in a single Si crystal by means of microfabrication technology. The sidewall surfaces of the channels, similar to mirrors, scatter at very small incident angles, acting equivalently to narrow micrometer size slits as in the Young double-slit interferometer. Experimental tests of the interferometer were performed at the ESRF ID06 beamline in the energy range from 12 to 16 keV. The interference patterns at different grazing incidence angles were recorded in the near- and far-field. Evaluation of the influence of the channel surface roughness on the visibility of interference fringes was performed. The proposed interferometer design allows the arrangement of mirrors at different split distances.
