The total enhancement factor in X-ray Microanalysis of thin overlayers has been measured at different primary beam energies by comparing the signal from a thin film deposited on a bulk material to that from a thin unsupported film of the same composition. This enhancement factor contains the contribution of both backscattered electrons and characteristic and bremsstrahlung X-rays created in the bulk by the primary beam , which ionize the film in their way out of the sample.The experimental results from a Cu film on different substrates ( Si, Ni and Au ) are compared to Monte-Carlo calculations, performed by the authors. In these calculations [1,2] all three correction factors cited above (backscattering, characteristic and continuous X-rays from the bulk) are taken into account. It is thus demonstated that the contribution of continuous X-rays from the bulk take important values (as high as 12-14%) in cases where the substrate is of a high Z material at high primary beam energies (40 keV).
