Abstract
An ERD-TOF system is constructed for the nondestructive depth profiling of light elements in thin films in the range of several thousand angstroms. The particles, recoiled by 10 $MeV^{35}Cl$ projectiles, were detected by a Time-Of-Flight spectrometer composed of a MCP (Micro Channel Plate) and a SSB (Silicon Surface Barrier) detector. A two parameter data acquisition system composed of two PC's was constructed for registering simultaneous time and energy signals. A $Si_3N_4$/poly-Si/$SiO_2$/Si sample was anlayzed and the result is compared with RBS. The detection limit, maximum probable depth and depth resolution for light elements in silicon are about $4\times10^{14}atoms/\textrm{cm}^2$, 5, 000$\AA$ and 100$\AA$, respectively.
