Properties like sputtering or oxidation are influenced by the crystal orientation. To investigate this effect, a measuring method is developed to study the dependency of W properties on its crystal orientation to benchmark sputtering theories and to predict the properties of textured materials.
A polycrystalline polished W sample was sputtered with a 30 keV Ga ion beam. Sequentially the crystal orientations were analyzed using electron backscatter diffraction and the height measurement was measured with a convocal laser scanning microscope.
The height information is visualized in an inverse pole figure, representing the sputter yield in all crystal orientation. The sputter yield changes more than one order of magnitude with the crystal orientation. Molecular dynamic simulations confirm the experimental results.
