歐傑電子能譜儀 (Auger Electron Spectroscopy, AES) 當原子內層電子受激游離, 產生一電洞, 上層電子會填補此一電洞以降低原子之位能, 此 一降低的能量若大於同層或上層能階某電子的束縛能時, 該電子將有機會被游離出原子, 經此過程被游離的電子依發現者 (Pierre Auger) 的姓氏命名為 Auger 電子 歐傑電子動能 The kinetic energy of the Auger electron (XYZ) is E k (XYZ) = E x - E y - E z 歐傑電子 E xyz = E X -E Y -E Z 真空態 where E x, E y and E z are respective binding energies for electrons in level X, Y and Z. 激發探束 E Z Z Y E Y E X No Auger transition can be observed for hydrogen and helium because 3 electrons are required to complete the Auger transition process. 游離電子 自由原子 X An Auger transition can be expressed as the following general form, XpYqZr, where X, Y and Z are principle levels, and subscripts, p, q and r, are subshells of X, Y and Z, respectively 2

縱深成份分佈分析 (Depth Profiling) Surface Analysis techniques can be used to study the atomic composition as a function of depth from the surface of solid materials. This technique is called depth profiling. For destructive depth profiling, an ion beam is used to erode the sample surface. The newly created surface after ion sputtering is then analyzed with AES or ESCA. Thus, atomic compositions at various depths below the sample surface can be derived from the successive sputtering and measurement cycles. 電子束 離子束 1 2 3 能量分析器 (AES, ESCA) 原子濃度 B A 1 2 3 縱深 ( 濺蝕深度 ) 19
