Abstract

The transient Si sputtering yield change of an amorphous Si for normal incident 500 eV O 2 + ion bombardment under oxygen flooding condition was measured quantitatively with in situ MEIS. The Si sputtering yield decreased very rapidly from 1.4 Si atoms/O 2 + at the initial stage to less than 0.1 Si atoms/O 2 + at the steady state around 2 × 10 16 O 2 + cm -2 . The change of the initial transient Si sputtering yield change corresponds to the 1.6 nm shift to the shallower depth in SIMS depth profiling.
