Bg. Svensson et al., SIMS AND DEPTH PROFILING OF SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 85(1-4), 1994, pp. 363-369
This paper reviews recent secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) work
on (i) isotope shifts in ion implantation profiles, (ii) dopant profil
es in silicon and beam-induced oxidation and (iii) surface roughness a
nd profile broadening of Al(x)Ga1-(x)As/GaAs superlattice structures.
Comparison is made with other techniques, and, in particular, the issu
es of depth resolution and conversion between sputtering time and samp
le depth are emphasized.
