FD ISO/TR 22335

Surface chemical analysis - Depth profiling - Measurement of sputtering rate : mesh-replica method using a mechanical stylus profilometer

ISO/TR 22335:2007 describes a method for determining ion-sputtering rates for depth profiling measurements with Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X‑ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) where the specimen is ion-sputtered over a region with an area between 0,4 mm² and 3,0 mm². The Technical Report is applicable only to a laterally homogeneous bulk or single-layered material where the ion-sputtering rate is determined from the sputtered depth, as measured by a mechanical stylus profilometer, and sputtering time.

The Technical Report provides a method to convert the ion-sputtering time scale to sputtered depth in a depth profile by assuming a constant sputtering velocity. This method has not been designed for, or tested using, a scanning probe microscope system. It is not applicable to the case where the sputtered area is less than 0,4 mm² or where the sputter-induced surface roughness is significant compared with the sputtered depth to be measured.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- The UPSELL service allows you to easily update one of your standards.
