Description

The dose would be enhanced in low Z material when X-ray enters the interface which is constructed with different materials. The mechanism of dose enhancement is introduced in this article, and the dose enhancement factors of W-Si, Ta-Si interface are calculated in the article. The calculated results demonstrate that there exists a stronger dose-enhancement in the Si side near the interface when the energy of X-ray is 30-200 keV. (authors)
