Popis: This paper describes the results of nitrogen depth profiling in nanometer oxynitride layers on silicon, employing dynamic SIMS and time-of-flight SIMS. The surface transient effect was studied using surface encapsulation method, and the attractive possibility of time-of-flight SIMS profiling with low energy Cs sputtering was demonstrated. Quantification of the nitrogen profiles was performed after a detailed study of the matrix effect in order to correct for the ion yield difference at the oxynitride/silicon interface.
