Abstract

We have investigated the sputtering and secondary electron emission characteristics of MgO protective layer according to the $O_2$ partial pressure. The MgO layer have been deposited by electron beam evaporation method and have varied the $O_2$ partial pressure as 0, $5.2{\times}10^{-5}$, $1.0{\times}10^{-4}$, and $4.1{\times}10^{-4}$ Torr. It has been known that the secondary electron emission coefficient and the number of defect energy levels increased as the $O_2$ partial pressure increases. So we have investigated the property of sputtering yield according to the $O_2$ partial pressure. We have known that the sputtering yield deceases as the $O_2$ partial pressure increases by using the FIB system.
