“…The method of extended full spectrum TOF-SIMS was described in two papers by Py et al 264,265 Both SIMS and TOF-SIMS can suffer from non-linearity of relative sensitivity factors when profiling through films with various compositions and this can especially be the case when the material under investigation is silicon germanide layers on silica. The use of the extended full spectrum method helps minimize these interferences.…”

“…One study (ref. 264) described its use during the quantitative depth-profiling of both matrix elements (Ge, O and Si) and of contaminants (C) in Si(0.82)Ge(0.16)C(0.02) materials annealed in an oxidizing atmosphere. The accuracy and precision of the data obtained using the method were compared with those obtained using another technique (conventional SIMS) and were both superior, even under the optimal SIMS operating conditions.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
