Abstract
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.
