OSTI ID:7319943
The /sup 16/O(d,..cap alpha..)/sup 14/N nuclear reaction is used for depth profiling low levels of /sup 16/O by means of energy analysis of the emitted ..cap alpha..-particles. The analytic method for converting the emitted ..cap alpha..-spectra to concentration vs depth profiles is presented and the technique is applied to a variety of thin film structures. Experimental methods for enhancing the depth resolution and sensitivity are discussed, and depth resolutions of 130 A and sensitivities of 0.3 at. percent are demonstrated.
