This series of standards is available for laboratories employing ultra high vacuum analysis instruments (Auger, EXCA, electron probe, SEM, etc.). A choice can be made from a range of approximately 180 high purity single element and compound reference materials. Multi-element blocks containing up to 50 such materials can be made to suit the configuration of most instruments, the size and shape being determined by the physical limitations imposed by the specimen holder and chamber.
Each block is made from a low outgassing stainless steel (AISI 304), set with the chosen elements and compounds, which in turn are mounted in Wood's metal, and polished to a 0.25µm finish. All blocks are supplied with certificates of analysis and a location map. A Faraday cup can be incorporated if required.
The electronics material set, containing 33 relevant reference materials, will be of particular interest to those working in the investigation of the surface chemistry of electronics materials. Further details of these standards are available upon request.
