Depth Profiling of Ultrathin Oxynitride Layers Using Synchrotron Radiation — •Patrick Hoffmann and Dieter Schmeißer — BTU Cottbus, Lehrstuhl Angewandte Physik II / Sensorik, Universitätsplatz 3-4, 03044 Cottbus

To determine the depth structure of samples various destructive (SIMS, depth profiling with sputtering and AES or XPS) and non-destructive techniques (RBS - Rutherford-Back-Scattering) are available. But all methods are less suitable for investigating especially ultrathin (<5nm) layers: While the destructive techniques suffer from Ion-mixing the RBS can not deliver chemical information.

Due to the depth-dependent attenuation of photo-electrons XPS also contains depth information. As XPS gives only a sum signal across the layer one needs to modify the Inelastic Mean Free Path (IMFP) of the photo-electrons to vary the depth information in the photo-electron spectra. This can be done by changing the kinetic energy with the use of different excitation energies delivered from a Synchrotron.

Using this method we were able to investigate the chemical depth structure of silicon oxynitride layers. The layers were grown on Si(111) by a N2O-treatment. The depth profile of that layer shows a silicon nitride layer forming the interface between the silicon substrate and the oxynitride.
