15、tandardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the ri

16、ght to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Internationa

17、l Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as

18、an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

BSISO20341:2003ISO 43023002:1)E( ISO 3002 r llAithgs reservde v Introduction Depth resolution is one of the important parameters in SIMS depth profiling. However, spu

20、tter depth profiles in SIMS analysis are affected by many factors which may include ion-beam-induced mixing and segregation, charge-driven diffusion, matrix effects, crater shape, surface microtopography, etc. To obtain the best depth resolution, the deterioration of the depth resolution due to thes

21、e factors should be understood and minimized. The best depth resolution generally requires special conditions of analysis which may include an ultra-low primary-ion beam energy, glancing incidence angle, specimen rotation, specimen cooling to cryogenic temperature, etc., all of which cannot be easil

22、y adopted for daily SIMS analysis. In addition to this, the optimization of the analysis parameters may be quite different for each specimen. Moreover, different aspects of the depth resolution are also affected by instrumental factors such as the crater shape, ion beam homogeneity, removal of the c

23、rater edge effect, mass interference, memory effect, residual gas effect, etc. Therefore, it is not straightforward to estimate the depth resolution under given daily SIMS analysis conditions. In this International Standard, the three essential component parameters of the depth resolution, the leadi

24、ng- edge decay length, the trailing-edge decay length and the Gaussian broadening, are described and procedures are provided for the measurement of each parameter. The depth resolution parameters under daily SIMS analysis conditions can be estimated using multiple delta-layer reference materials. BS

However, it is not always possible to make delta-layers

30、 or prove the single atomic layer thickness. If ideal delta-layers are not available, the following criteria are appropriate for non-ideal delta-layers to be used as reference materials. 4.2 The matrix of sputtered surface layers shall not change during SIMS depth profiling so that no significant ch

31、anges occur in any SIMS matrix effects or in the erosion rate during depth profiling. Constant secondary-ion intensities of the matrix elements through the delta-layers are indicative of a constant matrix. z z 0 L T A L A T BC I(z) BSISO20341:2003ISO :14302(3002)E 2 ISO 3002 All rithgs reresvde 4.3

32、The surface and the delta-layers shall be flat and parallel to each other to avoid any distortion of SIMS profiles. 4.4 The thickness of the doped delta-layers shall be sufficiently less than the projected range of the primary ions so that a small variation in the thickness does not affect the profi

33、le shape. 4.5 The spacing between adjacent delta-layers shall be large enough so that the secondary-ion intensity at the valley between layers is less than of the peak intensity. 4.6 The thickness, the position and the interface roughness of the delta-layers shall be determined by high- resolution c

34、ross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity, medium- energy ion-scattering spectrometry, or other appropriate methods. 5 Procedures 5.1 For adjustment and optimization of the secondary-ion mass spectrometer settings, the analysis conditions such as ion energ

35、y, ion species, ion current, secondary-ion polarity, primary-ion scan region, region analysed, the stability of the primary-ion current, specimen introduction, detected secondary ions, etc., shall be set in accordance with the manufacturers instructions or a local documented procedure. In the cases

36、when the SIMS profile shape of each delta-layer in a multiple-delta-doped reference material is not reproducible, the instrument performance shall be checked for items such as the drift of primary-ion current, the scan uniformity, etc. For good reproducibility of the estimated SIMS depth resolution

37、parameters, SIMS analysis conditions shall be adjusted so that there are more than 10 data points in the top of the intensity in a SIMS profile, and a SIMS profile shall be recorded down to an intensity below of the maximum. 5.2 For the use of this International Standard, a SIMS profile of a delta-l

38、ayer shall be described using an exponential rising edge, a Gaussian-like rounded top and an exponential trailing edge. Assuming the SIMS profile of a delta-layer to be a convolution of the two exponentials for the exponential rising edge as defined in Equation (1) and for the exponential trailing e

47、two SIMS depth resolution parameters are possible. Make a one- parameter estimation using the trailing-edge decay length. Make a two-parameter estimation with the trailing- edge decay length and the leading-edge decay length. A.2 Procedure For these simpler options, use the slope of the linear porti

The linear portio
