Abstract: | Oxygen in silicon nitride films on silicon wafers was analyzed by activation with the16O(3He, p)18F reaction. By3He bombardment of samples propertly arranged under consideration of the18F recoil effect, total oxygen was reliably determined and its predominant part was estimated to be located whether on film
surface, in film interior, or on film-substrate interface. Sample films with 0.1 to 2 μm thicknesses were found to contain
0.2 to 2 μg/cm2 of oxygen in locations varying with preparation conditions. This method has been compared with ESCA and other methods for
surface analysis. |
