A molecular multilayer stack composed of alternating Langmuir-Blodgett films was analyzed by ToF-SIMS imaging in combination with intermediate sputter erosion using a focused C cluster ion beam. From the resulting dataset, depth profiles of any desired lateral portion of the analyzed field-of-view can be extracted in retrospect, allowing the influence of the gating area on the apparent depth resolution to be assessed. In a similar way, the observed degradation of depth resolution with increasing depth of the analyzed interface can be analyzed in order to determine the 'intrinsic' depth resolution of the method.
通过使用聚焦的C簇离子束,结合中间溅射侵蚀的飞行时间二次离子质谱成像(ToF-SIMS成像),对由交替的朗缪尔-布洛杰特(Langmuir-Blodgett)膜组成的分子多层堆叠进行了分析。从所得数据集中,可以事后提取分析视场中任何所需横向部分的深度剖面,从而能够评估门控区域对表观深度分辨率的影响。以类似的方式,可以分析随着被分析界面深度增加而观察到的深度分辨率下降情况,以便确定该方法的“固有”深度分辨率。
