Chromium nitride layers produced by reactive sputtering with different process parameters were characterized with EPMA, SIMS depth profiling, and three-dimensional SIMS imaging. EPMA results are used to quantify the major components of the films while SIMS is used to gather information about the distribution of the elements chromium, silicon, nitrogen, and oxygen. For all measurements a Cs+ primary ion beam was applied to sputter the sample. Positive MCs+ (M represents the element to be analyzed) secondary ions were detected. SIMS depth profiling shows an even distribution of all major elements except oxygen, which shows significant differences in concentration and distribution depending on the process parameters. CrN layers produced at low sputter power have much higher concentration of oxygen than layers produced with high sputter power. Heating the silicon substrate during the process results in an enrichment of oxygen at the interface. 相似文献

The major problem affecting the application of chromium in high temperature processes is the ongoing spallation of the protective
oxide layer formed during hot-gas oxidation. This results in a continuous material erosion. To gain a deeper insight in the
spallation and oxidation process, a high-purity powder-metallurgically produced chromium sample was submitted to a two-stage
hot gas oxidation process. The formed oxide layers were investigated by 3D SIMS and scanning SIMS. The formation of the protective
oxide layer is carried by the diffusion of chromium from the bulk through the already existing oxide layer and the reaction
of the diffused chromium with the oxygen from the gaseous phase. In parallel to the growing of the oxide layer, an accumulation
of impurities at the interface oxide layer – bulk can be observed. The enrichment of trace elements at the interface level
(for the investigated sample Cl and N) can be explained by the low solubility of these elements in chromium oxide and therefore
their inability to diffuse through the already formed protective layer.

Direct analysis of solid samples employing a laboratory assembled electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer is demonstrated to be a feasible approach for determination of trace elements in plant tissue and hair samples for special applications in plant physiology and biomedical research. As an example, the kinetics of Cr uptake by cabbage and its distribution have been measured as a function of chromium speciation in the nutrient solution. Further, longitudinal concentration gradients of Cr, Pb and Cd have been measured in hair of various population groups exposed to different levels of these elements in ambient and/or occupational environments. The techniques are validated for the determination of these trace elements by neutron activation analysis, dissolution atomic absorption spectrometry and by analysis of certified reference materials. Slurry sample introduction is found appropriate for routine trace element determination and in homogeneity testing. Direct sample introduction is indispensable in the analysis of very small (< 1 mg) tissue biopsy samples in the determination of trace element distributions. 相似文献

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) exhibits a unique potential for the measurement of two-and three-dimensional distributions of trace elements in advanced materials, which is demonstrated on relevant technological problems. One example is the characterization of high purity iron. With this material segregation experiments have been performed and the initial and final distribution of the trace elements have been measured. Another example is the investigation of the corrosion behaviour of high purity chromium. Samples oxidized with (16)O and (18)O have been measured to explain the growing and adhesion of the oxide layer. All imaging techniques generate a vast quantitiy of data. In order to extract the important information the assistance of chemometric tools is essential. Detection of chemical phases by classification using neural networks or de-noising of scanning-SIMS images by wavelet-filtering demonstrates the increase of the performance of analytical imaging techniques. 相似文献

Spallation of the protective oxide layer formed during hot gas oxidation is the main reason for the corrosion of high purity powder metallurgically produced chromium[1]. To explain the formation and occasional spallation of the oxide layer a chromium sample subjected to two consecutive oxidation processes in16O and18O atmosphere at high temperature was characterised by 2D and 3D SIMS.The formation of the protective oxide can be described by the diffusion of chromium from the bulk to the surface and the reaction of the chromium atoms with the oxygen from the gaseous phase. The very low solubility of nitrogen in chromium oxide indicates its inability to diffuse through the growing oxide layer and explains the enrichment of nitrogen (same mechanism applies for chlorine) in the interface metal/oxide. The accumulation of trace elements within the interface during the oxidation process explains the reduced adhesion power of the passivation layer and its spallation.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer. nat.

Embrittlement of tungsten heavy alloys is often caused by trace impurities. Heavy alloys containing O, Al and Si, respectively, were mechanically tested and exhibited interfacial embrittlement. SIMS analysis of metallographic sections was found to be a suitable tool for comparative analysis of heavy alloys with different fracture behaviour, the results obtained being not dependent on the fracture mode as is the case e.g. with AES. It was found that oxygen may cause embrittlement at the interfaces even at low overall content, since it is enriched at the phase boundaries tungsten-binder. Al is detrimental if it covers the interfaces rather evenly; grossly inhomogeneous distribution is less harmful. Generally, the distribution of trace elements is much more important than their total amount. 相似文献

In the leaves of the medicinal plant Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh (E. rostratus Schlecht) collected from different sampling areas of Greece the trace elements antimony, cesium, chromium, cobalt, iron, europium, rubidium, scandium, strontium, thorium and zinc were determined by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. In the same samples, the essential oil was determined by steam distillation and the percent relative composition of the essential oil in 1,8-cineole, p-cymene, -pinene by gas liquid chromatography. Also the refractive index of the essential oil was determined by a refractometer. Statistical analysis included the calculation of the correlation coefficient. Multiple correlation and cluster analysis was applied to all analytical data. The results showed that the trace elements iron, chromium, cobalt and zinc are correlated with the variation of the concentration of essential oil in the examined plant. These four elements along with rubidium and essential oil content could be used for the separation of the samples into groups related to the sampling areas. Statistically significant correlation between active constituents and some trace elements and a linear negative correlation between 1,8-cineole and refractive index were found. 相似文献

Applying a recently developed three dimensional SIMS imaging technique major differences in the distribution of trace elements in ultra high purity Mo and W have been found. In the electron beam melted material severe grain boundary segregation of trace elements have occurred whereas in the hot pressed material trace elements have been present as precipitates with a size of 5–15 m. Guided by the results of the 3D-SIMS images and the advantages of the sintering process a material with homogeneous distribution of trace elements has been developed and characterised. To test the applicability for the microelectronics industry, sputtering targets have been manufactured out of this new material and layers with a thickness of 350 nm have been sputterdeposited on silicon. The quality of these layers, with respect to particle emission and the distribution of trace elements, was evaluated by EPMA and 3D-SIMS imaging. Further improvement of the sintering process led to a material with a completely homogeneous distribution of C, H, N, O and S to minimise the outgassing and diffusion of impurities.Abbreviations BSE

The content and the three dimensional distribution of impurities play an important role in the production process of high
purity rhenium powder (99.99% purity grade) and for its further use as alloying and coating agent in high temperature applications.
In this paper the characterization of raw Re granulate, Re powder, cleaned by heat treatment, Re coatings, produced by most
common preparation methods (PVD and VPS) and PM Re by means of SIMS is presented. The analysis of the three dimensional distribution
of trace elements is performed by 3D SIMS. The quantification of carbon, which was not possible with other analytical techniques
as a result of the high volatility of Re2O7 until now, has been carried out by SIMS depth profile analysis. It is discussed if internal standards, produced by introduction
of defined amounts of carbon soot to the Re powder lead to useful results. 相似文献

Adhesion promotion of Cu on C by Cr intermediate layers investigated by the SIMS method 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Copper-carbon composites are candidate materials for heat sinks for high speed/high-performance electronic components. They combine high thermal conductivity with low density and a tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Because of the low wettability of carbon by copper, a thin layer of chromium can be deposited to promote both the adhesion and the thermal contact of copper with the carbon fibers. Therefore, in a first step layers of Cr and Cu were deposited by magnetron sputtering on plane vitreous carbon substrates (Sigradur G), which serve as a model for carbon fibers. From pull-off-adhesion measurements an interlayer thickness of Cr in the range of 2-10 nm was found to provide the optimal adhesion for 1 micro m thick copper overlayers. To model the later serial fabrication of the composite that involves a hot pressing step following the deposition, the C/Cr/Cu samples were heat treated at 800 degrees C under vacuum for 1 h. Adhesion on the heat-treated samples was superior in comparison to the untreated ones. To obtain information about the adhesion mechanism secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) investigations were done on the depth distribution of the main elements copper, chromium, and carbon. Two samples, one as deposited and one subjected to heat treatment after deposition, were compared in this investigation. We found that heat treatment mainly modifies the distribution of Cr in the C/Cr/Cu system. 相似文献

The germanium concentration and the position and thickness of the quantum well in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown SiGe
were quantitatively analyzed via low-energy Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In
these samples, the concentrations of Si and Ge were assumed to be constant, except for the quantum well, where the germanium
concentration was lower. The thickness of the analyzed quantum well was about 12 nm and it was situated at a depth of about
60 nm below the surface. A dip showed up in the RBS spectra due to the lower germanium concentration in the quantum well,
and this was evaluated. Good depth resolution was required in order to obtain quantitative results, and this was obtained
by choosing a primary energy of 500 keV and a tilt angle of 51° with respect to the surface normal. Quantitative information
was deduced from the raw data by comparing it with SIMNRA simulated spectra. The SIMS measurements were performed with oxygen
primary ions. Given the response function of the SIMS instrument (the SIMS depth profile of the germanium delta (δ) layer),
and using the forward convolution (point-to-point convolution) model, it is possible to determine the germanium concentration
and the thickness of the analyzed quantum well from the raw SIMS data. The aim of this work was to compare the results obtained
via RBS and SIMS and to show their potential for use in the semiconductor and microelectronics industry. The detection of
trace elements (here the doping element antimony) that could not be evaluated with RBS in low-energy mode is also demonstrated
using SIMS instead. 相似文献

WC–Ni composite coatings were developed by the powder cloth and the vacuum brazing technology. The wear resistance and the corrosion resistance of the brazed WC–Ni coatings were investigated. The peeling coating samples were prepared by using solder mask during brazing. The microstructures for the powder cloth and for the brazed coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The distribution of elements in the different area of the brazed coatings was determined by energy dispersive X‐ray maps. It shows that the segregation of chromium carbides occurs during brazing. Apart from penetrating into the interspaces of WC particles, the Ni‐based filler can also infiltrate and spread on the substrate surface. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Summary The potential and limitations of SIMS for quantitative surface and interface characterization of technical materials are described. Quantification procedures, figures of merit and analytical strategies are discussed for surface characterization of single cristals (dopant elements in Si), homogeneous metallic thin films (multielement trace analysis), heterogeneous glass layer structures (corrosion behaviour), polycristalline metals with precipitations (C, O, Al, Si in steel) and interface analysis by depth profiling (Cr distribution in Si3N4/GaAs) as well as step scanning (segregation studies of P in W-NiFe).

Summary The complete chemical characterization of environmental particles requires a depth resolved analysis of the chemical state of the elements. Using dynamic SIMS, a depth-resolved determination of the chemical state of chromium was derived from measurements of ten different chromium salts and oxides. The evaluation is based on the signals of Cr

, CrO+ and Cr2O+ which are the most intense molecular ions. The valence state of chromium can be determined for concentrations far less than 1 atom %. The transferability of this kind of analysis is shown for manganese compounds. Additionally binary mixed metal clusters are shown to indicate binding partners of compounds in mixtures. 相似文献

The focus of this review is on trace-element quantitation of microstructures in solids. This review is aimed at the nonspecialist who wants to know how secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) quantitation is achieved. Despite 35 years of SIMS research and applications, SIMS quantitation remains a fundamentally empirical enterprise and is based on standards. The most used standards are "bulk standards"-solids with a homogeneous distribution of a trace element-and ion-implanted solids. The SIMS systematics of bulk standards and ion-implanted solids are reviewed. 相似文献

The distribution of the reactor water components lithium and boron in the oxide layer of in-reactor corroded Zircaloy fuel rod cladding specimens was investigated by depth profiling, line scanning and imaging analyses using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The exact thickness of the oxide layer on the specimens was measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SIMS analyses showed that lithium and boron were not homogeneously distributed in the oxide layer. The peak concentration of lithium was found close to the reactor water/oxide interface of the specimens whereas boron showed no relevant variations in the bulk of the oxide layers investigated. The concentration of both elements decreased rapidly at a significant distance close to the oxide/metal interface. Conclusions were drawn to improve the understanding of the in-reactor corrosion process of fuel rod claddings consisting of zirconium based alloys. 相似文献
