Abstract

A method is proposed for calculating the component composition and thickness of a layer of two-component targets changed as a result of prolonged (stoichiometric) sputtering when irradiated with light ions. The method is based on a previously tested model of sputtering inhomogeneous two-component materials with light ions. In the case of stationary sputtering of tungsten and tantalum carbides with helium ions, the results of calculations of the component composition and thickness of the modified layer are presented in comparison with experimental data.
