T. Sekiguchi et al., 2-DIMENSIONAL BORON ANALYSIS IN BOROPHOSPHOSILICATE GLASS-FILM USING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPE WITH IMAGING FILTER, JPN J A P 2, 35(12B), 1996, pp. 1717-1719
Two-dimensional boron concentration mapping of borophosphosilicate gla
ss (BPSG) film has been performed using a transmission electron micros
cope equipped with an imaging filter. The atomic ratio of boron to sil
icon is obtained using core-loss electrons of boron K and silicon L(23
) spectra. Boron concentration increases at the BPSG/phosphosilicate g
lass (PSG) interface, which is consistent with the result obtained by
secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).
