Abstract:The influence of the tilt angle of a sample in front of a cylindrical mirror analyzer (CMA) on AES depth profiles is calculated with the conventional mixing‐roughness‐information (MRI) depth model and an extended MRI model. While the conventional model works with an average electron escape depth value, the extended model takes into account the intensity from different segments along the azimuth angle corresponding to different escape depth values before summing up for the total, measured intensity. The deviation between both approaches is generally less than 4%, even for the worst case at 47.7° tilt angle. The shape of the profile is slightly different for both approaches. Because, for a CMA with coaxial gun, the sample tilt angle varies as the electron beam incidence angle, the influence of the latter has to be additionally taken into account for quantification of AES. In reasonable agreement with experimental results it is shown that above 45° the Auger peak intensity of Cu (914 eV) increases up to about a factor of two for an incidence angle of 85°.
