Popis: A blind study using two different 30 keV state-of-the-art Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB) columns was performed to analyze the surface concentration of Ga as a function of distance from a FIB milled feature. Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry was used to measure Ga surface and near surface concentration by a series of depth profiles at a distance up to 6.5 mm from a 100 μm ×100 μm constant dose FIB milled square. In column “A,” >1 × 1012 atoms/cm2 of Ga was detected up to ∼5 mm from the FIB milled square. Column “B” showed considerably less Ga but still detected >1 × 1012 atoms/cm2 at ∼250 μm from the FIB milled square. The depth profiles show that the Ga concentration was similar to a depth of ∼1 nm from the surface for both columns, indicating that these implantation depths correspond to a particle energy
