Sources of Variability in Alpha Emissivity Measurements at LA and ULA Levels, a Multicenter Study
Alpha emissivity measurements are important in the semiconductor industry for assessing the suitability of materials for use in production processes. A recently published round-robin study that circulated the same samples to several alpha counting centers showed wide...
Electronic Background Rejection in a New Ultra-low Background Alpha-particle Counter
Low background alpha-particle (α) counting is required in the semiconductor industry, where α's produce single event errors. Industry roadmaps call for measuring α emissivities at 0.0005 α/cm2-hr, while current commercial counter backgrounds are 0.005 α/cm2-hr, a...
Ultra-low Background Alpha Particle Counter Using Pulse Shape Analysis
The need to measure alpha particle emissivities at levels below 0.005 /spl alpha//cm/sup 2/-hr is becoming increasingly important in fundamental physics experiments (e.g. neutrino and rare decay measurements), environmental monitoring, nuclear activities monitoring...
