Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0004579A1] A process is provided for preparing a reference wafer having a surface which is substantially uniformly contaminated with one or more metals of interest and which is suitable for use in the calibration of a total reflection fluorescent X-ray apparatus. The process comprises immersing a virgin wafer in a treatment solution obtained by mixing an aqueous stock solution containing a water-soluble salt of a metallic contaminant of interest with an organic solvent, and then drying thus immersed wafer.
