摘要: Details are given of a round robin depth profile comparison between 9 SIMS instruments (6 instrument types) applied to the analysis an ion implanted Si(B) sample. It is shown that shape boron not sensitive sputter conditions employed and width data shows agreement within 10% over concentration range ∼1021 1015 cm−3 (104 0.02 ppma). This level encouraging gives confidence in reliability method. Instrumental factors which control dynamic be dependent on system configuration. With quadrupole-based raster scanning quality primary beam importance, while with imaging microscope systems, memory effects significant. A ∼5 × 105 obtained from both types instrument. The identical samples prepared by implantation should enable other workers check instrumental performance.
