Abstract / scope

ISO 20341:2003 specifies procedures for estimating three depth resolution parameters, viz the leading-edge decay length, the trailing-edge decay length and the Gaussian broadening, in SIMS depth profiling using multiple delta-layer reference materials.

It is not applicable to delta-layers where the chemical and physical state of the near-surface region, modified by the incident primary ions, is not in the steady state.
