BACKGROUND

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Inorganic Chemical Metrology Group (ICMG) performs elemental measurements using a variety of instrumental methods. With these methods, we fulfill the customer needs through the provision of NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and development of methods used for the value assignment of elemental data to SRMs. In addition to SRMs, the group also provides the community with Reference Materials (RMs), and Research Grade Test Materials (RGTMs) which can be developed into SRMs in the future. The group also manages hundreds of these materials, from purchasing of raw materials to the stability testing over time to meet the needs of the customers.

For this project, we will develop new SRMs, Reference Materials (RMs), and Research Grade Test Materials (RGTMs) of high-purity solids currently lacking in chips manufacturing. Purity of materials used to create semiconductors is critical for industry. Our RMs and RGTMs will enable more effective, efficient, and comparable characterizations of source materials, as well as process control improvements. To achieve these goals, we will develop new NIST capabilities to measure elemental information at trace levels in the material using an Inductively Couple Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) in tandem with a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument. The ICP-MS needs to have the ability to perform laser ablation so we can measure trace elements in the material and determine the homogeneity or any impurities in the materials. The LIBS instrument has the capacity to measure elements that span the periodic table while also providing spatial information about the materials in the form of elemental mapping of the surface or depth-pr...
