X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy, based on the photoelectric effect, 1,2 was developed in the mid-1960 s by Kai Siegbahn and his research group at the University of Uppsala, Sweden H. Hertz, Ann.

Level The ejected photoelectron has Valence Band kinetic energy: KE=hv-BE- 2p L2,L3 XPS typically uses relation 2s L1 BE=hv-KE- Kinetic energy of the exciting x- ray must be known 1s K Work function,, of the detector is known and constant Each pathway has a 8/18/2010 photoionization cross-section 7 Scofield cross-sections are proportional rate of emitted photoelectrons Typically the C 1s transition is given a value of 1, sometimes F 1s Peaks are created with areas proportional to Scofield cross-sections 8/18/ Elemental XPS Spectrum Auger Relation of Core Hole Incident X-ray or electron Emitted Auger Electron 2p 2s 1s Conduction Band Valence Band Free Electron Level Fermi Level L2,L3 L1 K L electron falls to fill core level vacancy (step 1). KLL Auger electron emitted to conserve energy released in step 1. The kinetic energy of the emitted Auger electron is: KE=E(K)-E(L2)-E(L3). A 3-step process which often makes Auger peaks more difficult to characterize than XPS peaks 8/18/ /18/ Auger Spectrum X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Small Area Detection Auger utilizes an electron beam to scan the sample surface Electron beams can be focused to much smaller spot sizes (~5 nm) than x-rays Electrons from the beam are collected along with photoemitted electrons Typically the derivative spectrum is used to quantify peak intensities Derivative peaks can vary greatly depending on the broadness of the signal peak. X-ray penetration depth ~1mm. Electrons can be excited in this entire volume.

3 Inelastic Mean Free Path (IMFP or ) IMFP is the average distance an electron travels before it undergoes an inelastic collision (and therefore loses energy and can become part of the XPS background) Electron elastic scattering is neglected IMFP depends on: The kinetic energy of the electron The material in which it is traveling Similar to, but not to be confused with Effective Attenuation Length (EAL) which tries to account for elastic scattering effects IMFP is usually denoted by IMFP generally larger for softer materials like polymers (up to 10 nm) IMFP for metals typically 1-3 nm Sources for IMFP: Quases-IMFP-TPP2M software (10.6MB) free download at NIST program IMFPWIN (can obtain copy from me) Online IMFP Grapher at Inelastic Mean Free Path (IMFP or ) for: Nickel Polymer 8/18/ /18/ Mean Escape Depth (MED) Mean escape depth is defined as the average depth with respect to the surface normal, from which electrons escape MED = cos( ) where is the angle with respect to the surface normal At high angles, elastic scattering of electrons may be significant More Surface Sensitive =75 = 0 Less Surface Sensitive, greater electron escape depth Information Depth (ID) or Analysis Depth Information depth can be identified as the sample thickness from which a specified percentage (95% or 99%, e.g.) of the detected signal originates The 95% ID corresponds to 3 if elastic scattering effects are neglected Practical information depth is 3 cos( ) in the SSI system is 55, unless using an angled stage. cos(55)= CCMR system has detector 55 from surface-normal of a horizontal sample Tilt stages are used for Angle-resolved analyses cos(55) = /18/ /18/ Introduction to X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Sources of Information Principles of XPS and Auger How to prepare samples for XPS Instrumentation, X rays, Photoelectron detection Data acquisition Quantitative and Qualitative analyses Spin-orbit splitting, Plasmons, Shake-up, etc. Sample charge control Overlayer effects Ion sputtering 8/18/ Samples Ideal sample: UHV compatible, nothing with high vapor pressure Very clean, will discuss sample handling Conductive, metals or metal thin films on conducting substrate Flat, polished surface (deposited on silicon substrate, e.g.) About 1cm x 1cm square or larger Things to consider: Do you need the sample back?

6 Why UHV for Surface Analysis? Degree of Vacuum Low Vacuum Medium Vacuum High Vacuum Ultra-High Vacuum Pressure Torr Remove adsorbed gases from the sample. Eliminate adsorption of contaminants on the sample. Prevent arcing and high voltage breakdown. Increase the mean free path for electrons, ions and photons. 8/18/ Schematic of SSI system Analyzer Electron gun (10 kev Anode (aluminum) produces characteristic x-rays Crystal Monochromator focuses x-rays and reduces x-ray energy width Sample must be at focus of both the monochromator and collection lens Collection lens collects photoelectrons Detector measures incidence of photoelectrons Some systems scan the anode to scan the sample. This system moves the sample 8/18/ SSI system Anode: X-ray Source X-rays are produced by hitting a metal anode with high-energy electrons (5-15keV) >99.9% of this energy is dissipated as heat, therefore anode cooling is critical AlKa x rays have an overall line width of ~0.85eV 8/18/ /18/ Anode: X-ray Source Mg, Al, and Cu are common XPS anodes Mg has a lower x- ray output than Al Al Ka x-rays can probe to larger BE s than Mg E(Al-Mg) = 233 ev 8/18/ Non-Monochromated vs. Monochromated X-rays Non-monochromated x- rays contain Bremsstrahlung radiation Peak width ~0.85 ev X-rays scatter throughout chamber, creating photoelectrons on all surfaces. These photoelectrons help to neutralize insulating samples Greater sample heating may occur Monochromators typical cut the characteristic x-ray line to ~0.3 ev Focus beam onto sample Insulating samples require an electron flood gun to neutralize charge build-up 8/18/

RSF Au 4f7/2 = 9.58 Au 4f5/2 = 7.54 Au 4f = = sum of both Au 4f peaks 8/18/ Detection Limits Typical detection limit is 0.1 to 1 atomic % Factors that affect the detection limit: RSF Signal-to-noise ratio in the spectrum Time to acquire data Energy resolution of the analyzer Peak overlap issues Light elements may have fewer peaks Interference from other XPS and Auger peaks Overlayer effecting the information depth. Background choice Accurate Precise Accurate & precise Quantification accuracy is about 10-20%, so a alloy may be seen as a 50% (+/- 5 to 10%) Detection precision is excellent and generally very repeatable 8/18/ Background Subtraction Background is produced by inelastic scattering of photoelectrons Shirley background assumes the background is proportional to the # of electrons with kinetic energies higher than the peak energy.
