We report an international interlaboratory dual experiment to determine the calibration factor used to calculate the interstitial oxygen content of silicon from room‐temperature (300 K) infrared (IR) absorption measurements. We conducted round robins for both the infrared and the absolute measurements on the same or equivalent specimens. The calibration factor for computing the oxygen content of silicon in parts per million atomic (ppma) from a room‐temperature measurement of the absorption coefficient at 1107 cm−1 was determined to be
6.28±0.18 normalppma/cm−1
. The IR round robin showed a reproducibility on the order of 3%.
The Institute's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Institute conducts research to assure international competitiveness and leadership of U.S. industry, science and technology. NIST work involves development and transfer of measurements, standards and related science and technology, in support of continually improving U.S. productivity, product quality and reliability, innovation and underlying science and engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
