Abstract: | A method for the quantitative Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analysis by using a co-evaporation technique is extended to the AuCu system following the previous work. The calibration curves for lower Auger energy have peaks at 60 eV for Cu and at 69 eV for Au, and for higher Auger energy peaks at 239 eV for Au and at 920 eV for Cu. It is found that a simple linear relation does not exist in the results for AES measurements and the bulk analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) because of the back-scattering effect and the overlap of the spectra at lower energies in the Au-Cu system. It is also found that the adsorption of oxygen caused by electron beam bombardment has a significant influence on the AES results. The calibration curves obtained after a correction for oxygen adsorption are successfully applied to the determination of the composition at the surface of a sputtered AuCu alloy. |
