Hello Sungeun,
I have taken a look at your design and run some testing and believe you are running into issues with the periodic boundary conditions. Those boundary conditions are designed for normal incidence and do not take the phase corrections required for your tilted source into account.
In my test cases I brought the source and detector closer to the interface and widened the crystal and wafer domain along the x. These changes brought the simulation back into line with expected results.
