RBS measurement

Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) can be used to measure the composition of solid samples quantitatively at the surface as well as depth profiling.

RBS is used for the analysis of heavy elements and can be combined with ToF-ERDA when lighter elements also need to be analyzed.

Elements with similar mass can be difficult to differentiate.

Suitable sample matrices
Thin films, coatings, semiconductors, metals, solid materials
Required sample quantity
10x10-15x15 mm
Typical turnaround time
2 – 4 weeks after receiving the samples
Detection limit
0.1at.% (ppm for heavy elements)
Available quality systems
Measurlabs validated method
