Popis: The ability to control and accurately measure the cesium concentration, [Cs], is a critical step toward understanding the role of Cs in the SIMS MCs+ technique. We have developed a method to alter the instantaneous [Cs] by using electron gun heating (in situ) during Cs bombardment and found that heating (ex situ) during the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis provides a qualitative depth distribution of the implanted Cs. The effectiveness of in situ and ex situ heating is explored on (100) silicon and (100) indium arsenide. Cs build-up curves are studied to determine if in situ heating produces secondary ion yields that are favorable for the MCs+ technique. In addition to XPS, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (STEM/EDS) are utilized to measure [Cs]. The goal of this work is to improve the quantification of the MCs+ technique used in SIMS by understanding the material dependent behavior (incorporation and retention) of Cs and how it affects the MCs+ analysis.
