Measure overlayer film thickness and composition with Auger electron spectroscopy

Rinfinity = (Ioverlayer)inf / (Isubstrate)inf =

Angle detector - surface normal = ° (degrees)

Overlayer inelastic mean free path (LOver) = Å
Substrate inelastic mean free path (LSub) = Å

Overlayer sensitivity factor (SxOv) =
Substrate sensitivity factor (SxSub) =

Overlayer interlayer spacing =

Overlayer Intensity (OverI) =
Substrate Intensity (SubI) =

Ioverlayer / Isubstrate Intensity ratio:






Default values for overlayer: Au (69 eV)
Default values for substrate: Si (92 eV)

Notes:
Rinf: Ratio of intensities for overlayer and substrate each measured for bulk materials (not a film over a substrate).

Computation of compositions:
compOv = (OverI/SxOv)/((OverI/SxOv)+(SubI/SxSub));
compSub = (SubI/SxSub)/((OverI/SxOv)+(SubI/SxSub));
