Abstract: | An ion beam technique has been developed which allows the preparation of bevels from semiconducting heteroepitaxial structures with smooth surfaces and very flat angles in the order of 0.1°. The bevels are used for AES depth profiling of heterostructures by the line scan technique. Measured and calculated line scans from (Al,Ga)As/GaAs and SiGe/Si test structures are compared to estimate the contributions of the electron escape depth and the ion beam mixing to the depth resolution.
