FIB and Ion Beam Sputter Standards

Ion Sputter Standards manufactured to the highest precision for calibrating sputter ion guns. Thin films of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), Silicon Nitride (Si3N4), Tantalum Pentoxide (Ta2O5) and Nickel/Chromium (NiCr-3) are available.

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Silicon wafers with thin films of silicon dioxide are available in thicknesses of 23, 50, 97 and 102.9nm. The oxide films are grown with a wet oxygen process, which insures a higher degree of uniformity than available using other processes. The wafers are 4" in diameter.

Nickel / Chromium
Consisting of 12 alternating layers: 6 layers of Cr (~53nm) and 6 layers of Ni (~64nm) for a total thickness of ~700nm with a maximum variation across the 75mm production wafer of ±2%. Standard is on a 1x3cm section of a polished silicon wafer. The mass density of Cr and Ni was measured using electron beam excitation and measuring characteristic X-ray intensities.
