125 CHAPTER FOUR SECONDARY-ION MEASUREMENTS 4.1 In tro d u c tio n The re s u lts presented in Chapter 3 were extended to a wide range o f p r o je c t ile energy and mass using the technique o f secondary-ion mass spectroscopy. I t was not p ossible to o b tain q u a n tita tiv e re s u lts fo r the absolute In +/Ga+ ion y ie ld r a tio w ith our apparatus, because o f u n c e rta in tie s in the io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility o f sp u ttered atoms and in the ion mass dependence o f the spectrom eter tran sm issio n. However, v a ria tio n s in the in te n s ity r a t io I ( I n + ) /I( G a + ) could be ac cu ra te ly measured. Such v a ria tio n s would be in d ic a tiv e o f changes in the to ta l s p u tte rin g y ie ld r a tio and, th e re fo re, in the escape depth o f sp uttered atoms. The technique o f secondary-ion mass spectroscopy is a co nsiderably more e f f i c ie n t means than c o lle c tio n experiments fo r o b ta in in g such in fo rm a tio n. Furtherm ore, i t p e rm itted the simultaneous measurement o f v a ria tio n s in the m olecular/ato m ic ion y ie ld r a t io, which provided im portant in fo rm ation on the s p u tte rin g o f molecules. 4.2 Apparatus and Experim ental Procedure Secondary-ion mass spectra were measured fo r pure Ga and pure In ta rg e ts, and fo r the G a-in e u te c tic a llo y. The ta rg e ts were prepared and s p u tter-c lea n ed in the manner described in Chapter 2. Measurements were performed w ith in c id e n t ion beams o f 20Ne+, * A r+, 84Kr+, and 132Xe+ over an energy range o f kev. The beams were obtained from the Cockcroft-W alton a c c e le ra to r. Typ ical beam 81

126 cu rren ts were <1 na, w ith a beam-spot diam eter o f =1 mm. S table beams o f such low cu rrent were obtained by o p erating the ion source w ith out a plasma a rc. The ion beams were in c id e n t on the ta rg e t a t an angle o f 30 w ith respect to the ta rg e t normal, which was alig n e d p a r a lle l to the mass spectrom eter a x is. Secondary-ion mass spectra were measured w ith a quadrupole mass spectrom eter. The p h ysical p rin c ip le s and o p eratio n o f quadrupole spectrom eters have been described in d e t a il by Dawson [D a76], The id e a l design co nsists o f two p a irs o f electro d es w ith h yperb o lic cross s e ctio n s, as illu s t r a t e d in Figure 4.1. In p ra c tic e, these are g e n e ra lly approximated by rods w ith ap p ro p riate c ir c u la r cross sectio n s. The opposing electrod es are separated by a distance o f 2 r0, and by convention the quadrupole axis lie s along the z-co o rd in ate a x is. The two sets o f electrod es are biased a t equal and opposite p o te n tia ls, which are superpositions o f d ir e c t and a lte r n a tin g components o f the form 4.1 ) 4> - ±(U-Vcoswt). In th is c o n fig u ra tio n, the tra je c to r ie s in the xz and yz planes are decoupled, and the equations o f motion are 4.2 a ) + - r[u -V c o s (w t)]x - 0 dt^ mr^ and 4.2 b ) ^ - ^ 2-[U-Vcos(Wt ) ] y - 0. These are examples o f Mathieu equations, fo r which so lu tio n s and s t a b il i t y co nditions have been analyzed a t length [Da76]. For ty p ic a l o p e ra tio n, V - 7U, and the frequency o f the a lte r n a tin g

127 component is several MHz. The fu n ctio n o f the quadrupole as a mass f i l t e r is possible because only lig h t ions are able to respond 83 a p p reciably to the high frequency component o f the p o te n tia l. In the xz p lan e, the ion motion induced by the p o s itiv e d ir e c t component is s ta b le. However, the a lte r n a tin g component causes a net in s t a b ilit y in the t r a je c to r ie s o f lig h t ions, so th a t only heavy-io n tra je c to r ie s remain s ta b le in th is p lan e. The n egative d ir e c t component in the yz plane g e n e ra lly induces unstable motion. However, fo r s e le c t lig h t ions, the frequency o f the a lte r n a tin g component is such th a t the t r a je c t o r ie s are p ro p e rly corrected as the am plitude o f the motion increases, and the tr a je c to r y remains s ta b le. For a proper choice o f the parameters U and V, the quadrupole w i l l pass only ions w ith in a narrow range o f mass/charge r a t io. Figure 4.2 i llu s t r a t e s the p r in c ip le set o f values fo r the parameters a = 4eU/mw2r 2 and q * 2eV/mw2ro fo r which ion tra je c to r ie s are s ta b le in both planes. A mass scan is obtained by ramping the vo ltag es U and V, w hile m ain tain in g a constant value fo r t h e ir r a t io, U /V. fo r U/V determines the mass re s o lu tio n o f the scan, The value chosen as illu s t r a t e d by the lin e s o f constant U/V in Figure 4.2. For a p p lic a tio n s such as the measurement o f secondary-ion mass sp ectra, where good re s o lu tio n is re q u ire d, the quadrupole is operated near the t ip o f the s t a b ilit y reg io n. The r e la t iv e s im p lic ity o f quadrupole mass spectrom eters provides an advantage over magnetic spectrom eters. The mass re s o lu tio n is e a s ily v a rie d by an e x te rn a l e le c tro n ic adjustment o f the r a t io U /V, and the mass/charge r a t io o f tran sm itted ions is a simple lin e a r fu n c tio n o f the

128 84 v o ltag es U and V. However, ion transm ission through the quadrupole is a strong fu n c tio n o f both mass and energy, h in d e rin g q u a n tita tiv e a n a ly s is. Above -4 0 u /e, the ion transm ission decreases e x p o n e n tia lly w ith mass [U t8 1 ]. For ions o f fix e d mass/charge r a t io, the transm ission decreases w ith decreasing energy, as the tim e (measured in r f cycles) spent in the quadrupole fie ld s increases. P a rtly fo r th is reason, i t is d e s ira b le to equip the quadrupole w ith an energy p r e f i l t e r to l im i t the energy range o f ions to be analyzed. Secondary-ion mass spectra were measured w ith a Uthe Technology, In c. model 100C quadrupole mass spectrom eter, shown in Figure 4.3. The u n it is a m odified re s id u a l gas a n a ly z e r, w ith the io n iz e r assembly replaced by a K ratos, In c. e le c tro s ta tic energy p r e f i l t e r. The p r e f i l t e r is shown in d e ta il in Figure 4.4. The c e n tra l stop blocks the passage o f sputtered n e u tra ls and high-energy ions, which would otherw ise c o n s titu te a s ig n ific a n t source o f background in the mass sp e c tra. The elements o f the p r e f i l t e r were biased as shown in Figure 4.4 to pass p o s itiv e ions o f energy 5 ev, w ith a bandpass o f 2 ev FWHM [Bn87]. In th is c o n fig u ra tio n, the entrance to the p r e f i l t e r was biased a t -5 V, c re a tin g a small c o lle c tio n f i e l d between the ta rg e t and p r e f i l t e r entrance. The f i l t e r capacito rs connected to the p r e f i l t e r power supplies were necessary to e lim in a te r f p ick-u p from the a lte r n a tin g p o te n tia l on the quadrupole rods [Bn87]. The angular acceptance o f the p r e f i l t e r was estim ated to be 13e±50 w ith respect to the ta rg e t surface norm al. This estim ate was made sim ply by c a lc u la tin g the t r a je c to r ie s o f 5 ev ions between the ta rg e t and the p r e f i l t e r en trance, assuming a uniform e le c t r ic f i e l d in th a t regio n.

129 85 Secondary ions were detected by an o f f-a x is G a lile o E le c tro - O ptics #4876 channeltron o p eratin g in the pulse s a tu ra tio n mode, and sp ectra were accumulated by a m u lti-ch a n n e l an alyzer o p e ra tin g in the m u lti-s c a lin g mode. The data a c q u is itio n e le c tro n ic s are illu s t r a t e d schem atically in Figure 4.5. The e le c tro n ic s were com pletely analogous to those used fo r the ISS a n a ly s is, described in d e t a il in Chapter 2. The ramp vo ltag e output o f the d ig ita l/a n a lo g co n verter in th is case drove the quadrupole c o n tro l u n it, which in tu rn ramped the rod voltag es U and V. The gain and bias o f the b ias a m p lifie r were adju sted to give a f u l l range sweep o f u. The mass sub-regions to be scanned by the quadrupole, and the in c id e n t charge per mass step, were p reset on the computer. During measurements the ta rg e t was unbiased, but before and a fte r each spectrum was taken the beam c u rre n t was measured tw ice both w ith and w ith out a +180 V b ias on ta rg e t, in order to c o rre c t the in c id e n t charge fo r seco ndary-electron emission. In order to assure th a t the measurements were not in flu enced by the gradual accum ulation o f an adsorbed la y e r between clean in g s, or by a change in the surface composition o f the a llo y due to h eatin g o f the ta rg e t during clean in g, several mass spectra were taken fo r each in c id e n t-io n energy. The quadrupole re s o lu tio n was norm ally set to give a peak FWHM of 1 u. The s lig h t ly less than optimum re s o lu tio n was a t r a d e -o ff fo r the increase in s e n s it iv it y d esired a t high ion mass fo r m onitoring Ga and In m olecular ions. Because the s ig n ific a n t Ga and In isotopes are separated by 2 u, th is introduced no in te rfe re n c e s in the regions of in te r e s t.

130 Results Figure 4.6 shows ty p ic a l p o s itiv e secondary-ion mass spectra fo r clean Ga and In ta rg e ts, and fo r the clean G a-in e u te c tic a llo y. These sp ectra, and (unless noted) a l l oth er data presented, have not been co rrecte d fo r the u n c e rta in mass dependent quadrupole tran sm ission, or fo r the mass dependent channeltron d e te c tio n e ffic ie n c y. Lack o f a s u ita b le theory has also prevented accurate c o rre c tio n fo r d iffe re n c e s in ta rg e t work fu n c tio n and atomic io n iz a tio n p o te n tia l, which can cause la rg e changes in the sputtered-atom io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility [Y u 86]. For the clean Ga and In ta rg e ts, a la rg e fra c tio n o f the detected low-energy ions were dimers and, fo r Ga, even trim e rs (h e a v ie r molecules are beyond the scan range o f the quadrupole). However, before s p u tte r c le a n in g, m o lecular-io n y ie ld s were v i r t u a l ly undetectable even though ato m ic-io n y ie ld s were g re a tly enhanced.. Only as the ta rg e t was s p u tte r-c le a n e d d id the m olecular/atom ic ion y ie ld r a t io become s ig n if ic a n t, dem onstrating th a t th is r a t io is a s e n s itiv e in d ic a to r o f ta rg e t c le a n lin e s s. S im ila r behavior has been described by Wittmaack [W i77]. No m u ltip ly charged ions were detected fo r e ith e r ta rg e t. The secondary-ion mass spectrum fo r the clean G a-in a llo y ta rg e t in d ic a te s considerable In enrichment o f the s p u tte re d -io n f lu x. The In 2 c o n trib u tio n was also stro ng, w ith the I ( I n 2 ) / I ( I n * ) r a t io n e a rly equal to th a t o f the pure In ta rg e t. In c o n tra s t, v i r t u a l l y no Ga2 was detected, though a sm all Gain* peak was observed. For comparison, Figure 4.7 shows a spectrum obtained fo r the a llo y ta rg e t p r io r to s p u tte r-c le a n in g. C onsistent w ith the re s u lts o f Auger e le c tro n

131 87 a n a ly s is, the spectrum is dominated by Ga+, because o f the presence o f g a lliu m oxide a t the ta rg e t su rface. As the ta rg e t was s p u tte r-c le a n e d, the secondary-ion flu x became enriched w ith In, and the m o lecular-io n species became s ig n ific a n t. Figure 4.8 illu s t r a t e s the dependence o f the Ga+ y ie ld from a pure Ga ta rg e t on the energy and mass o f the prim ary ion beam. Also shown is the Ga s p u tte rin g y ie ld as c a lc u la te d from the sem i-em p irical form ula o f Matsunami e t a l.[m a 8 4 ], The th e o re tic a l y ie ld has been norm alized to f i t the d ata, using the same n o rm a liza tio n fa c to r fo r each p r o je c t ile. The o v e r a ll agreement o f the p r o je c tile energy and mass dependence of the c a lc u la te d s p u tte rin g y ie ld s and the measured Ga* y ie ld s is q u ite s a tis fa c to ry, e s p e c ia lly fo r Ne+ and Ar+. For Kr* and Xe*, the c a lc u la te d y ie ld s d eviate from the ion y ie ld s a t h ig h er in c id e n t ion energies (and hig her nuclear stopping pow er). This may in d ic a te the onset o f n o n -lin e a r e ffe c ts in the c o llis io n cascades, although c a lo rim e tric measurements by Andersen and Bay [An75] suggest th a t the excess atoms e je c te d from n o n -lin e a r cascades are o f very low energy, and should th e re fo re not c o n trib u te to th is measurement. S im ila r re s u lts were obtained from a pure In ta rg e t, as illu s t r a t e d in Figure 4.9. However, fo r the In d ata, th ere are v a ria tio n s (10% fo r Ne+ and 20% fo r Kr+ ) in the value o f the n o rm a liza tio n fa c to r req u ired to best f i t the ion y ie ld s. The agreement between the data o f Figures 4.8 and 4.9, and the c a lc u la te d s p u tte rin g y ie ld s (s o lid lin e s ), im ply th a t the io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility o f 4-6 ev sp uttered atoms is independent o f p r o je c tile mass and energy fo r the p r o je c tile /ta r g e t combinations stu d ied. This

132 suggests th a t v a ria tio n s o f the measured I ( I n + ) /I( G a + ) r a t io fo r the a llo y ta rg e t would r e f le c t v a ria tio n s in the y ie ld r a t io fo r sp uttered n e u tra ls as w e ll, and would th e re fo re s ig n a l changes in the 88 c h a ra c te ris tic escape depth o f sputtered atoms. ' The dependence o f the d im er-io n y ie ld s on p r o je c t ile energy d e viates from th a t o f the atomic ions, although the p r o je c t ile mass dependence is s t i l l adequately described by the s e m i-e m p irical formula o f [Ma84]. For the pure In ta r g e t, I ( I n 2 ) / I ( I n + ) is shown in Figure as a fu n c tio n o f p r o je c tile energy fo r Ne+, Ar+, Kr+, and Xe+ bombardment. For the Ar+, Kr+, and Xe+ beams, I ( I n 2 ) / I ( I n + ) is constant above =100 kev in c id e n t ion energy, but increases a t lower energy. The magnitude o f the increase v a rie s fo r the th ree beams, but the general p r o je c tile energy dependence is very s im ila r in each case. There is no s ig n ific a n t v a r ia tio n w ith p r o je c tile energy fo r Ne+ bombardment. At a fix e d p r o je c tile energy o f ( fo r example) 200 kev, th ere is l i t t l e v a r ia tio n o f I ( I n 2 ) / I ( I n + ) w ith p r o je c tile mass. S im ila r b e h a v io r is observed fo r the I(G a 2 ) /I( G a + ) and I(G a 2 ) /I( G a 2 ) data from a pure Ga ta rg e t, as illu s t r a t e d in Figures 4.11 and 4.1 2, re s p e c tiv e ly. The s ig n ific a n t amount o f s c a tte r in these data is probably the r e s u lt o f sm all (perhaps m icroscopic) g alliu m -o xid e in c lu s io n s a t the surface o f the liq u id ta rg e t. A tom ic-ion y ie ld s from such regions are considerably enhanced. For Ar+, Kr+, and Xe+ bombardment o f the Ga ta rg e t, the r a tio s increase fo r in c id e n t-io n energies below =200 kev, as compared w ith =100 kev fo r the In ta rg e t, but the magnitude o f the increase is s im ila r fo r each ta rg e t. For Ne+ bombardment, th ere is again l i t t l e v a r ia tio n w ith p r o je c tile energy.

133 89 For a l l beams, the ra tio s are equal to w ith in 15% a t 200 kev in c id e n t energy. The I ( I n + ) /I( G a + ) r a t io is shown as a fu n c tio n o f p r o je c tile energy in Figure fo r Ne+, Ar+, Kr+, and Xe+ bombardment o f the G a-in e u te c tic a llo y ta rg e t. For Ne+, Ar+, and Xe+ bombardment, the r a t io is independent o f the in c id e n t ion energy w ith in the range o f s c a tte r o f the d a ta. There is a sm all decrease in the r a t io above 150 kev fo r Kr+ bombardment, and a more s ig n ific a n t system atic in crease, o f about 25%, as the p r o je c tile mass increases from th a t o f Ne to th a t o f Xe. The same general behavior is observed in Figure 4.1 4, where the Ga+ y ie ld from the G a-in a llo y ta rg e t is compared w ith th a t from the pure Ga t a r g e t, as a fu n c tio n o f p r o je c tile mass and energy. The data presented are the averages o f the ion y ie ld s fo r a l l spectra taken a t each in c id e n t ion energy. I t is b e lie v e d th a t the s c a tte r in the data observed in Figures and r e fle c ts the in te r m itte n t in flu e n c e of GaO in clusions a t the surfaces o f the Ga and G a-in a llo y ta rg e ts. S everal sp ectra were measured a t low re s o lu tio n, where the quadrupole transm ission is approxim ately independent o f ion mass, to estim ate the tru e values o f the ion y ie ld r a tio s. For 100 kev Ar+ bombardment o f a G a-in a llo y ta rg e t, i t was found th a t I ( I n 2 ) / I ( I n + ) = ± 0.02 and I ( l n + ) /I( G a + ) ± 0.2. The quoted u n c e rta in tie s are the standard d e viatio n s o f the averages o f severa l measurements. An approximate c o rre c tio n can be made fo r the mass dependent channeltron d e te c tio n e ffic ie n c y, based on a (m ass)*' dependence [Ku79]. The re s u lts are I ( l n 2 ) / I ( I n + ) = 0.92 and I ( I n + ) /I( G a + ) = 7.5. The In/G a data were fu rth e r co rrected fo r the lim ite d angular acceptance o f the

134 quadrupole, using the values o f na obtained a t 50 kev fo r sp uttered n e u tra ls. Then ln +/Ga+ ~ 9. The surface co n centration o f an a llo y su bject to thermodynamic segregation is p red ic te d to be dependent on the ta rg e t tem perature, according to 90 4,3) l-xi J-'Xb explaa T ]. where x2 (xb ) is the surface (b u lk ) co n centratio n o f the segregating component, and a is a species dependent constant [Du83]. In order to v e r if y th a t h e atin g o f the G a-in a llo y ta rg e t during clean in g was not a ffe c tin g the secondary-ion measurements or the c o lle c tio n experim ents, an a llo y ta rg e t was exposed fo r 30 minutes to a 2.2 pk 100 kev Ar+ beam. This represents a deposited power o f about 5 times th a t a c tu a lly used fo r c le anin g. The in c id e n t ion cu rren t was then lowered to the le v e l norm ally used fo r c o lle c tin g secondary-ion mass sp ectra, and the Ga+ and In + y ie ld s were monitored fo r more than one hour. This was achieved by d iv id in g the MCA memory in to fo u r secto rs. Each sector was assigned an ion mass from the computer, and the masses were s e q u e n tia lly monitored by the quadrupole fo r a p re -s e t t o t a l in c id e n t charge. The sequence was repeated fo r a larg e number o f ite r a tio n s, developing a tim e v a r ia tio n spectrum fo r each designated ion mass. The r e s u ltin g d a ta, shown in Figure 4.1 5, in d ic a te no s ig n ific a n t change in the I ( I n + ) /I( G a + ) r a t io. This demonstrates th a t even i f the a llo y ta rg e t does become hot enough to a lt e r the surface com position, i t cools down r a p id ly enough not to a ffe c t the measurements.

135 Discussion Molecular-Ion Measurements As illu s t r a t e d by Figure 4.6, the r e la t iv e In 2 y ie ld from the Gain a llo y ta rg e t was found to be n e a rly equal to th a t from the pure In ta rg e t, although v i r t u a l l y no Ga2 ions were d etected. Because the Ga2 y ie ld from a pure Ga ta rg e t is q u ite h ig h, th is suggests th a t Ga is g re a tly depleted in the low-energy sputtered-atom flu x r e la t iv e to the bulk a llo y com position, and is co n sistent w ith a high degree o f In enrichment a t the f i r s t atomic la y e r. The re s u lts o f the low re s o lu tio n mass spectra in d ic a te th a t in the 4-6 ev energy range, sp uttered m olecular ions are n e a rly as numerous as atomic ions fo r the p r o je c t ile /t a r g e t combinations observed. Such large r e la t iv e dimer y ie ld s have p revio u sly been observed when only secondary ions were detected. For example, Wittmaack and Staudenmaier [VJi75] measured secondary-ion emission fo r 10 kev Ar+ bombardment o f T i, V, Nb, Mo, Ta, and W ta rg e ts. The m olecular/ato m ic ion y ie ld r a tio s, measured a t the peaks o f the resp ective energy d is tr ib u tio n s, were found to be Corresponding ra tio s fo r the noble m etals Cu and Au were low er, 0.33 and re s p e c tiv e ly. Reported m olecular/ato m ic y ie ld ra tio s fo r sp u ttered n e u tra ls are much lower than those fo r ions. Oechsner and Gerhard [Oe74] observed the y ie ld s o f n e u tra ls sputtered from several m etals under 1 kev Ar* bombardment. For N i, Z r, Mo, Pd, H f, Ta, W, and Pt ta rg e ts, I(M 2 ) /I( M ) was measured to be The r a tio s fo r the noble m etals Cu, Ag, and Au were h ig h e r, For 200 ev Ar+ bombardment o f Cu,

136 Cooper and Hamed [Co84] measured I(C u 2 ) /I( C u ) fo r sp u ttered n e u tra ls to be These re s u lts are w e ll reproduced by m olecular-dynamics 92 computer sim ulations o f 600 ev Ar+ bombardment o f c r y s ta llin e Cu. The Cu2/Cu y ie ld r a t io was c a lc u la te d to vary from to 0.1 2, depending on the c r y s ta l o r ie n ta tio n (la rg e r r a tio s fo r the more c lo s e ly packed c r y s ta l faces) [Wg78]. This suggests th a t molecules are s u b s ta n tia lly o ver-represen ted in the s p u tte re d -io n flu x r e la t iv e to t h e ir abundance in the n e u tra l f lu x. Wittmaack and Staudenmaier [Wi75] have suggested th a t the io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility o f sp u ttered molecules is s ig n ific a n tly g re a te r than th a t o f atoms, because the e le c tro n ic e x c ita tio n energies o f the m olecular co n stitu e n ts may be a d d itiv e, and the m olecular and atomic io n iz a tio n p o te n tia ls are n e a rly equal. The behavior o f the In 2 y ie ld may th e re fo re be neglected when using the measured s p u tte re d -io n flu x composition to in fe r changes in the n e u tra l flu x composition. The m olecular/ato m ic ion y ie ld ra tio s measured in the present experim ent d id not scale w ith the s p u tte rin g y ie ld s, as is p re d ic te d by the s t a t i s t ic a l recom bination theory (Equation 1.6 ). For a p r o je c tile energy o f 200 kev, the measured ln + y ie ld fo r Xe* bombardment o f pure In is a fa c to r o f 16 g re a te r than th a t fo r Ne+ bombardment. However, the I ( I n 2 ) / I ( I n * ) ra tio s are n e a rly equal fo r each beam, as w e ll as fo r the Ar* and Kr* beams. As a fu n ctio n o f p r o je c tile energy, th ere is no c o rr e la tio n between the observed y ie ld r a t io v a ria tio n s and the atom icion y ie ld s. This is eviden t from a comparison o f Figures S im ila r experim ental re s u lts have been rep o rted fo r studies w ith in c id e n t ion energies above several kev. Staudenmaier [S t72] bombarded p o ly c r y s ta llin e W w ith 150 kev N e *, A r *, K r *, X e *, and C u*, and observed

137 W* y ie ld s fo r n The r e la t iv e m o lecula r-io n y ie ld s a t a secondary- ion energy o f 15 ev were observed to be independent o f p r o je c tile mass. 93 Over the mass range stu d ied, the c a lc u la te d s p u tte rin g y ie ld increases from 0.45 fo r Ne+ bombardment, to 11.2 fo r Xe+ [M a84]. Wittmaack [Wi79] studied secondary-ion emission from Si bombarded by Ne+, Ar+, Kr+, and Xe+, in the energy range o f 3-30 kev. The in c id e n t ion energy dependence o f the I ( S i * ) / I ( S i 2 ) y ie ld ra tio s fo r n -3-6 were q u ite s im ila r, w ith l i t t l e v a r ia tio n (<30%) w ith energy, desp ite a fa c to r o f two increase in the s p u tte rin g y ie ld. As a fu n ctio n o f p r o je c tile mass, the S i2 y ie ld was found to be p ro p o rtio n a l to the s p u tte rin g y ie ld Y, ra th e r than to Y2. Experiments a t lower in c id e n t ion energy were performed by Gerhard and Oechsner [G e75b]. Eleven d iffe r e n t ta rg e ts were bombarded by Ar+ in the energy range o f kev, and sp uttered n e u tra ls were observed by RF p o s t-io n iz a tio n. The I(M 2 ) /I( M ) y ie ld r a tio s fo r Ag, Cu, N i, Pd, and Mo ta rg e ts were found to be approxim ately p ro p o rtio n a l to the s p u tte rin g y ie ld, as p re d ic te d by Equation 1.6. For Au, P t, W, Ta, Z r, and Hf ta rg e ts, the r a t io was found to increase sh arply up to 0.3 kev in c id e n t ion energy, and to be n e a rly constant a t h ig h er energy. For each ta rg e t, the s p u tte rin g y ie ld increases m onotonically over the energy range s tu d ied. W ith the exception o f Z r, the two groups o f elements are w e ll separated by atomic mass. W ith even lower beam energies o f ev, Cooper and Hamed [Co84] bombarded Cu w ith Ar+ and observed sp u ttered n e u tra ls, using a low- pressure argon plasma as a p o s t-io n iz a tio n medium. The Cu2 y ie ld was measured to be p ro p o rtio n a l to the square o f the s p u tte rin g y ie ld, as

138 94 predicted by Equation 1.6. I f sputtered atoms were d is trib u te d randomly about the in c id e n t ion impact p o in t, as assumed in the d e riv a tio n o f Equation 1.6, then the data from the present experiment would suggest th a t the area about the impact p o in t from which sp uttered atoms are e je c te d is n e a rly p ro p o rtio n a l to the s p u tte rin g y ie ld. However, fo r a fix e d p r o je c t ile /t a r g e t mass r a t io, m1/m2, i t is more probable th a t the l a t e r a l ex te n t o f a c o llis io n -c a s c a d e near the surface is re la te d to the magnitude o f the energy tra n s fe r in the f i r s t few p r o je c tile /ta r g e t-a to m c o llis io n s, and so to the i n i t i a l p r o je c tile energy. S im ila r ly, fo r a r a t io m1/m2 < 1, such as fo r Ne+ bombardment o f In, the p r o je c tile is more l ik e l y to experience a larg e s c a tte rin g angle c o llis io n near the s u rface, so th a t the tran sverse momentum o f the scatte re d io n, and the la t e r a l ex te n t o f the c o llis io n -c a s c a d e, may be r e la t iv e ly la rg e. For m: /m2 > 1, such as fo r Xe+ bombardment o f In, the p r o je c tile w i l l p rim a rily experience only sm all angle c o llis io n s, so th a t the momentum o f the sc a tte re d ion is more forward d ire c te d. These e ffe c ts are w e ll illu s t r a t e d by computer sim u latio n s. B iersack [B i87] used a b in a r y -c o llis io n code to sim ulate Ga+ bombardment o f A l. In creasin g the p r o je c tile energy from 15 kev to 100 kev increased by a fa c to r o f 2.0 the radius o f the c ir c le from in sid e which 50% o f the sputtered atoms were e je c te d, d esp ite a fa c to r o f three decrease in the s p u tte rin g y ie ld. Kang e t a l.[k a 8 5 ] also used a b in a ry - c o llis io n code to sim ulate the 3 kev Ar+ bombardment o f Cu and Au. The l a t e r a l e x te n t o f the c o llis io n -c a s c a d e volume, and the area about the ion impact p o in t from which sputtered atoms were e je c te d, were

139 95 s ig n if ic a n tly la rg e r fo r the h e avie r Au ta rg e t than fo r Cu, although the s p u tte rin g y ie ld was le s s. The data may instead suggest th a t the form ation o f m ultiraers occurs p r im a rily when an in d iv id u a l r e c o il atom causes the c o rre la te d e je c tio n o f severa l atoms from a r e la t iv e ly lo c a liz e d reg io n o f the surface. A m olecular-dynam ics sim u la tio n by Jakas and H arrison [Ja86] o f the 3 kev Ar+ bombardment o f Cu shows an e x c e lle n t example o f a s in g le 40 ev r e c o il atom causing the low-energy e je c tio n o f fo u r neighboring surface atoms. As mentioned by Andersen [An87], such an event may be r e la t iv e ly l ik e l y to r e s u lt in the form ation o f a m olecule. This mechanism is in te rm e d iate between the s t a t i s t ic a l recom bination model o f Gerhard [G e75a], in which the sp u ttered atoms are assumed com pletely independent, and the d ire c t emission mechanism resp onsib le fo r the s p u tte rin g o f adsorbate m olecules. The m olecular form ation p r o b a b ility would be determined p rim a rily by the nature o f the atom-atom in te r a c tio n, because i t is th is in te ra c tio n which governs the e je c tio n process and the s t a b ilit y above the surface o f m olecules. Therefo re the m o lecular/ato m ic y ie ld r a t io would remain approxim ately co nstan t, even as the s p u tte rin g y ie ld v a rie d. The sm all v a ria tio n s o f I(M 2 ) / I ( M + ) observed in the present experim ent as a fu n c tio n o f p r o je c t ile energy are n o t, however, understood. For those p r o je c tile - ta r g e t combinations fo r which Equation 1.6 has been found to be v a lid [Co84, Ge75b], the generated c o llis io n cascades may be o f s u f f ic ie n t ly low energy th a t the e je c tio n o f severa l atoms by a s in g le r e c o il atom is an extrem ely ra re occurrence. The s p a tia l d is tr ib u tio n o f sputtered atoms would then be t r u ly random, and

140 96 Equation 1.6 would be expected to be v a lid Depth o f O rig in Measurements The re s u lts o f the I ( I n * ) / I ( G a * ) data fo r the a llo y ta rg e t in d ic a te th a t the escape depth o f low-energy sp u ttered p a r tic le s is n e arly independent o f p r o je c tile energy and mass over the ranges stu d ied. The s lig h t decrease o f I ( I n * ) / I ( G a + ) observed fo r Kr* bombardment above 150 kev is not reproduced by the data o f Figure 4.1 4, and may be spurious. The system atic increase o f l ( I n * ) / l ( G a * ) as the p r o je c tile mass was increased is more s ig n ific a n t. Assuming a value o f Fx fo r 50 kev Ar* bombardment, i t is estim ated th a t the fra c tio n o f lowenergy sputtered ions o r ig in a tin g from the f i r s t atomic la y e r increased by =5% as the p r o je c tile mass was increased from th a t o f Ne to th a t of Xe. The data presented in Chapter 3 show th a t the fra c tio n o f sp uttered atoms o r ig in a tin g from the f i r s t atomic la y e r is constant (a t Fj = ) fo r Ar* bombardment between 25 and 50 kev. The secondary ion re s u lts presented in the cu rrent chapter fu rth e r suggest th a t th is fr a c tio n is constant fo r energies up to 250 kev. In a d d itio n, only a small v a r ia tio n is observed w ith p r o je c tile mass. For the secondary-ion measurements, only sp u ttered ions in a narrow energy and angular window were d e tected, whereas by use o f c o lle c tio n techniques a l l sputtered p a r tic le s were observed. The p o s s ib ility must th e re fo re be considered th a t a s ig n ific a n t v a r ia tio n o f YIn /Y Ga may have been masked by changes in the io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility, or the energy and angular d is trib u tio n s, o f sputtered atoms. However, as discussed p re v io u s ly, the agreement of

141 97 the p r o je c tile energy and mass dependence o f the measured ato m ic-io n y ie ld s from elem ental ta rg e ts w ith the c a lc u la te d s p u tte rin g y ie ld s in d ic a te s th a t the io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility o f low-energy sp u ttered atoms is independent o f p r o je c tile energy and mass. I t also suggests, because o f the narrow d e te c to r energy window, th a t th ere are no dram atic changes in the shape o f the secondary-ion energy d is trib u tio n over the p r o je c tile energy and mass range observed. A c a lc u la tio n shows th a t the mass spectrom eter would also be s e n s itiv e to changes in the angular d is tr ib u tio n o f sp u ttered ions. For in stan ce, the angular d is tr ib u tio n measured in [Du83] fo r Ga sputtered from the G a-in a llo y ta rg e t broadened when the in c id e n t ion energy was increased, from rigg a t 15 kev, to n^a a t 25 kev. This was accompanied by a change o f a fa c to r o f 2.14 in the r a t io o f the p a r t ia l s p u tte rin g y ie ld s, which would be observed as a fa c to r o f *=1.7 change w ith the quadrupole spectrom eter. I t is th e re fo re u n lik e ly th a t v a ria tio n s in the sp uttered atom io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility, or energy and angular d is trib u tio n s, have masked a s ig n ific a n t change in the In/G a y ie ld r a tio over the p r o je c tile energy and mass range studied. The re s u lts o f the secondary-ion measurements are in reasonable agreement w ith the c o llis io n -c a s c a d e th eo ry, which assumes th a t a s u f f ic ie n t number o f c o llis io n s occurs w ith in the cascade to randomize the motion o f the la te -g e n e ra tio n r e c o il atoms [S i6 9, Si81]. In th is l i m i t, the r e c o il atoms lose a l l memory o f the i n i t i a l p r o je c t ile /t a r g e t atom c o llis io n s. Small v a ria tio n s were observed only as a fu n c tio n of p r o je c t ile mass, fo r which v a ria tio n s in the nuclear stopping power are q u ite la rg e. The re s u lts cast a d d itio n a l doubt on the measurements by

142 Dumke e t a l.[d u 8 3 ], which suggested a s ig n ific a n t change in the cascade dynamics r e s u ltin g from a modest v a r ia tio n in the p r o je c tile energy. The only a d d itio n a l experim ental data on the p r o je c tile mass dependence o f the sputtered-atom escape depth are those o f P e ll in e t a l.[p e 8 5 ], discussed in Chapter 1. For 3 kev A r+ bombardment o f a TiO ta rg e t, Fx = 0.8 0, w h ile fo r 3 kev H e*, Fx * Several re le v a n t computer sim ulations have been perform ed. The work o f B iersack [B i8 7 ], and B iersack and E ckstein [B i8 4 ], was discussed in Chapter 3. B in a ry -c o llis io n sim ulations were performed fo r He*, A r *, and Xe* bombardment o f Ni a t 1, 10, and 100 kev in c id e n t ion energy. For each p r o je c t ile, the r e la t iv e fra c tio n o f atoms sp u ttered from the f i r s t atomic la y e r was found to decrease w ith in creasin g p r o je c tile energy. For Xe* bombardment, Fj = 0.91 a t 1 kev, and =0.82 a t 100 kev. The magnitude o f the v a r ia tio n was s im ila r fo r a l l three beams. The decrease o f F: is p a r t ia l ly the r e s u lt o f an in creasin g c o n trib u tio n of high-energy sp u ttered atoms, which would not be detected w ith the present apparatus, from deeper w ith in the ta rg e t. However, the r e la t iv e c o n trib u tio n o f such atoms was always <3%. For a fix e d in c id e n t ion energy, the value o f Fx was less fo r the Ar* and Xe* p r o je c tile s, fo r which i t was n e a rly eq ual, than fo r He*. The v a r ia tio n is co n sistent w ith the experim ental re s u lts o f P e llin e t a l.[p e 8 5 ]. H arrison [Ha81b] used a m olecular-dynamics code to sim ulate the s p u tte rin g o f Cu. At 0.6 kev in c id e n t ion energy, the value o f Fx was independent o f p r o je c tile mass. At 5 kev, Fx was found to increase w ith in c re a s in g p r o je c t ile mass, from =0.91 fo r Ne* bombardment, to =0.95 fo r X e *. The magnitude and d ire c tio n o f the e f fe c t are co n sis te n t w ith the

143 99 re s u lts o f the present experim ent. A d d itio n a l sim u la tio n s, in which the in c id e n t ion s iz e and hardness were separa te ly v a rie d w h ile the mass remained constan t, showed no v a r ia tio n in the second la y e r c o n trib u tio n fo r 5 kev bombardment [H a81a]. W ith the exception o f He+ bombardment, the re s u lts o f [ B i87, Bi84, Ha81b] in d ic a te l i t t l e v a r ia tio n w ith p r o je c tile mass o f the sp u ttered - atom escape depth. The sm all c o n trib u tio n o f atoms sp uttered from beneath the f i r s t atomic la y e r fo r He+ bombardment is co n sistent w ith i t s very low nuclear stopping power ( a t 50 kev, in a Ga ta r g e t, a fa c to r o f 50 less than th a t o f Ne+). The sim u la tio n re s u lts obtained by H arrison [Ha81b] are co n sistent w ith the present experim ent, but the cause o f the v a r ia tio n w ith p r o je c tile mass is not understood. The re s u lts from the lo w -re s o lu tio n secondary-ion mass spectra in d ic a te th a t the flu x o f low-energy sp uttered ions is h ig h ly enriched w ith In, as is the flu x o f sp uttered n e u tra ls. An approximate value of In +/G a+ s= 9 was obtained fo r 4-6 ev secondary ions. Because the io n iz a tio n p o te n tia l o f In is ev less than th a t o f Ga, the io n iz a tio n p r o b a b ility, P+, o f sp u ttered In is expected to be s ig n if ic a n tly h ig h e r. A crude c o rre c tio n can be made by examining the data o f Bernhein and LeBourse [Br87] on the ion y ie ld v a ria tio n s caused by changes o f the ta rg e t work fu n c tio n. Measurements were performed fo r a v a r ie ty o f m etals, and the average re s u lts suggest a value of pi n / pga ~ 2 - T*1611 YinA G a *4-5, in reasonable agreement w ith the r e s u lt determined fo r sp uttered n e u tra ls, given the q u a lita tiv e nature o f the a n a ly s is. Such agreement was expected on the basis o f the s c a lin g o f the low

144 energy secondary-ion y ie ld s w ith the c a lc u la te d s p u tte rin g y ie ld s, 100 and is co n sis te n t w ith an e le c tro n tu n n e lin g model o f io n iz a tio n [Yu86], The tu n n e lin g mechanism is illu s t r a t e d schem atically in Figure The sp u ttered p a r t ic le has an energy le v e l Ea (th e io n iz a tio n p o te n tia l) which is increased in energy and broadened by the image p o te n tia l in te r a c tio n w ith the ta rg e t su rface.
