3 Introduction Angle Resolved XPS
4 Introduction ARXPS provides 3 types of non-destructive depth information:- 1. Relative depth plots (RDPs) Using logarithmic ratios 2. Film thickness measurement of single and multiple overlayers Using derivatives of the Beer-Lambert Equation, I = I exp(-d/λcosθ) 3. Reconstructed depth profiles Using Maximum Entropy Methods ARXPS measures electron signals at different angles from sample by sample tilting (regular ARXPS) by parallel angle detection (Theta Probe ARXPS) 4
5 Attenuation Length, λ, in electron spectroscopy Each data point represents a different element or transition 0.5 λ ~ E Ref.: M. P. Seah and W.A. Dench, Surface and Interface Analysis 1 (1979) 2 Photoelectron peak intensity as a function of depth 65% of the signal from <λ 85% from <2λ 95% from <3λ (typically < 9nm) at zero degrees to sample normal 5

9 ARXPS yields depth information non-destructively ARXPS provides 3 types of non-destructive depth information:- 1. Relative depth plots (RDPs) Using logarithmic ratios 2. Film thickness measurement of single and multiple overlayers Using derivatives of the Beer-Lambert Equation, I = I exp(-d/λcosθ) 3. Reconstructed depth profiles Using Maximum Entropy Methods All 3 methods are integrated within Avantage Data System 9
10 Treatment of ARXPS Data 1. Relative Depth Plot Construction: Collect ARXPS spectra For each element, calculate: I ln I SurfaceAngle BulkAngle Information Reveals the ordering of the chemical species Advantages Fast Model independent, no assumptions Limitation No depth scale Provides Information about layer ordering Surface Increasing depth Bulk Relative depth plot from silicon oxide on Silicon substrate: C 1s on top surface (contaminant) Oxidised Si 2p at surface Elemental Si 2p at substrate 10
11 Treatment of ARXPS Data 2a. Thickness Calculation Two layer model Signal from A I A = I A[1-exp(-d/λ A,A cos θ)] Signal from B I B = I B exp(-d/λ B,A cosθ) Ratio I I A B = R = R 0 1 exp exp where R 0 = I a/ I b Simplify If λ A,A = λ B,A = λ A then ln[1+r/ R 0 ] = d/(λ A cosθ) d λ cosθ A, A d λ cosθ B, A This assumption is suitable for an oxide on its own metal (e.g. SiO 2 on Si) ln(1+r/r ) Silicon dioxide on silicon - 6 samples of varying thickness Plot: ln[1+r/ R ] vs. 1/cos(θ) Fit through the origin Gradient = d/λ 9.0 nm 6.4 nm 4.3 nm 3.6 nm 2.3 nm 1.9 nm /cos( θ ) 11
12 Thickness Calculation, comparison with ellipsometry SiO 2 on Si Excellent linearity Unity gradient Intercept at 0.9 nm because ellipsometry included AMC* in thickness ARXPS Measurements (nm) y = 1.077x R 2 = Ellipsometry Measurements (nm) *AMC = Airborne molecular contamination 12
13 XPS Thickness map of Graphene layers on SiO2 ptical Image Trilayer Graphene layers Bilayer By using the 2 layer model, the attenuation of the Si signal reveals the thickness of the graphene sheet that the Si2p photoelectrons are passing through. This allows a thickness image of the surface to be generated, showing the number of layers present in each structure 13

18 ARXPS analysis of Graphene on SiC
19 ARXPS analysis of Graphene on SiC Analysis summary Theta Probe analysis summary Experimental The Thermo Scientific Theta Probe was used to analyse a sample of graphene on SiC The sample was mounted on the standard 70 x 70mm Theta Probe sample holder with conductive carbon tape The monochromated X-ray source was used for XPS analysis. This offers a selectable spot size from µm. The 400µm X-ray spot was used for higher sensitivity and rapid analysis. Angle resolved data was taken from the central point of the sample to obtain depth information from the sample Using the angle resolved data, it is possible to find the thickness of the graphene layer Thermo Scientific Theta Probe 19
20 Sample Analysis Angle resolved Bulk sensitive Angle resolved Surface sensitive Using the Theta Probe s unique angle resolved capabilities, information can be obtained from the sample non-destructively Angle resolved data was acquired for carbon, oxygen and silicon The 2D detector has 96 angle channels For analysis, these angle channels were binned into 16 discrete angle ranges of 3.75 angular resolution The higher the angle, the more surface sensitive that spectra are The data on the left is an example of how the carbon spectra change throughout the angle range. The highest angle and the lowest angle this can be seen on the next slide Proprietary 20 and confidential
21 Graphene on SiC As-received C1s spectra Bulk angle vs. Surface angle Bulk angle Surface angle Bulk vs. Surface angle The two spectra for the lowest angle and the highest angle are compared here Spectra normalised for clarity The higher the angle, the more surface sensitive that spectra are Graphene SiC From the bulk angle spectra it is possible to see a similar intensity of SiC to graphene Intensity On the surface angle spectra the intensity of SiC is much lower than the graphene As the ratio of SiC to graphene is much lower on the surface angle; this points to graphene being predominantly on the surface, with SiC the substrate Binding Energy (ev) Proprietary 21 and confidential
22 Graphene on SiC As-received Relative depth plot Relative Depth Plot Peaks (Peaks) O1s C1s Graphene C1s SiC Relative depth plot Avantage software can produce a relative depth plot from ARXPS data Rapid and model free method for describing depth ordering of chemical states and elements Provides qualitative information The plot of the graphene on SiC sample shows clear structure Oxygen on the surface Graphene underneath SiC substrate Proprietary 22 and confidential
23 Graphene on SiC As-received ARXPS film thickness measurement Integrated Avantage layer thickness calculation software ARXPS film thickness measurement Avantage software for thickness analysis Avantage software, combined with ARXPS analysis on Theta Probe, can be used to measure the thickness of up to three layers on a substrate Example of film thickness recipe shown to left Thickness measurements for graphene Surface oxygen is a very low concentration. This points to there being a small amount of dilute oxygen spread out over the surface A density of 2.27 g/cm 3 was used for graphene. This is a reference density of graphite A band gap of 0.01eV was used for graphene Using these values and the obtained spectra the thickness of graphene can be calculated Graphene = 0.857nm 23
24 Graphene on SiC As-received ARXPS depth profile Relative Intensity (%) ARXPS profile C graphene O SiC Depth (nm) ARXPS non-destructive depth profile Avantage data system allows concentrations of various elements/ chemical states to be constrained Results on previous slide were used to determine the ARXPS depth profile of graphene on SiC The sample was modelled as a mixture of graphene, oxygen and SiC No SiC on surface Small amount of oxygen on surface 0.857nm of graphene The 0.857nm of graphene is the approximate correct distance for two graphene layers on the surface of the sample The reconstructed profile shows the presence of oxygen at the surface, suggesting that there maybe some oxygen content in the first layer 24
