Tantalum Pentoxide Depth-Profiling Reference Material CRM261

Tantalum Pentoxide (Ta2O5) depth profile reference material was developed and fabricated by NPL, and is available via IRMM in Brussels.

CRM 261 comprises four 30 nm thickness samples and four 100 nm thickness samples of Ta2O5 on Ta, each approximately 10 mm by 5 mm in size. Each set comes with appropriate reports and certificates.

IRMM have on-line catalogues describing this and other reference materials. To order the material or obtain further information please contact:
