Ion bombardment of thin metal films leads to electronic excitations causing the well known secondary electron emission. When the film thickness is in the range of the excited carrier's mean free path, reflection of carriers at the back side of the film and subsequent passage through the front side to the vacuum may increase the secondary electron emission yield. This increase of the yield is influenced by the relaxation of the ion induced electronic excitation. Thus, we present a study on the thickness dependence of the secondary electron emission yield. Our metal films are evaporated on glass and AFM studies show a mean roughness of 3 nm. The films have thicknesses between 10 and 100 nm and are bombarded with keV Ar ions.
