E. Arai et al., ANALYSIS OF BORON-DOPED AMORPHOUS-SILICON BY MEANS OF A HEAVY-ION TIME-OF-FLIGHT ERD SPECTROMETER, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 89(1-4), 1994, pp. 149-152
The heavy-ion time-of-flight (hereafter TOF) elastic recoil detection
(ERD) is a powerful method to profile simultaneously all constituent c
hemical elements of a sample. We have analyzed boron-doped amorphous s
ilicon {a-Si(B)} films deposited on SiO2/Si substrates. The probe beam
ConsistS of 13.6 MeV Cl-35(+7) ions accelerated by a small tandem. Th
e mass of atoms scattered on or recoiled from the sample has been dete
rmined from the simultaneous measurement of TOF and the kinetic energy
of each registered particle.
