Abstract

With an experimental system composed of an ion gun and a RBS analysis chamber, in situ analysis of low energetic ion sputtering and high energetic ion RBS for thin films is carried out. We analyze, for three kinds of samples, their compositions and deeply-buried layers. In the analysis of Au/Si sample, the sputtering rate of Au with Ar+ etching is discussed and in the analysis of deeply-buried layers of Si/Ge-Si/Si and WSicursive Greek chi/SiO2/Si samples, the depth resolution is obviously improved. The advantages and disadvantages of this analytical method in thin film studies, as well as its potential applications, are discussed.
