I am using Hitachi S3000N VP-SEM with EDX equipment to investigate the composition of deposited Cu and CuW and Ni films on lightly doped Silicon substrates (Phosphorous).
Unexpectedly, there is a peak of Sn (at 3.4 KeV) coming out in the three measurements (I have a separate sample for each material).
What is the cause of Sn appearing ?
