    摘要: Systems and methods for characterizing films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are disclosed. For example, a system for characterizing a film may include an X-ray source for generating an X-ray beam having an energy below the k-edge of silicon. A sample holder may be included for positioning a sample in a pathway of the X-ray beam. A first detector may be included for collecting an XPS signal generated by bombarding the sample with the X-ray beam. A second detector may be included for collecting an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) signal generated by bombarding the sample with the X-ray beam. Monitoring/estimation of the primary X-ray flux at the analysis site may be provided by X-ray flux detectors near and at the analysis site. Both XRF and XPS signals may be normalized to the (estimated) primary X-ray flux to enable film thickness or dose measurement without the need to employ signal intensity ratios.

    摘要: A time-of-flight analyzer, such as a secondary ion surface analyzer, and method are disclosed wherein a beam of charged particles is created, magnified, directed along a path to a detector, detected and the time of flight measured. An emission lens is positioned on the path to produce the magnification and an additional lens can be provided along the path to produce variable magnification. A field aperture along the path limits the size of the image and a contrast diaphragm limits the lateral ion velocity. Two or more, preferably three, particle steering analyzers are sequentially positioned along the path from the emission lens to the detector with each of the three analyzers steering the particles through substantially 90 degrees.
