Abstract: | The emission of atomic and complex nitrogen ions, which are the main impurity determining the n type conduction of silicon carbide, is investigated. It is shown that, among all the secondary ions of the CxN and SixN kind (x = 0, 1, 2, 3), the 26(CN)– fragment exhibits the highest ion yield. The use of an ion peak with a specified mass as an analytical signal provides a detection limit for nitrogen in SiC at a level of 1016 cm–3. This result is attained in measurements at high mass resolution (M/ M = 7500, interference peak 26(13C2)–). |
