Instrumental neutron activation analysis for certification of ion-implanted arsenic in silicon

Standard reference material (SRM) 2134 Arsenic Implant in Silicon was produced at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a calibrant for secondary ion mass spectrometry. Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used as a primary method for certification of the arsenic implanted dose. A complete evaluation of all sources of uncertainty yielded an expanded relative uncertainty for the mean value of this SRM to be 0.38% at approximately the 95% level of confidence. No evidence indicating significant heterogeneity among samples was observed. (author)
