Abstract

We have performed secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiling analysis of III–V based hetero-structures at different target temperatures and found that both the surface segregation and surface roughness caused by ion sputtering can be radically reduced if the sample temperature is lowered to −150 °C. The depth profiling of ‘frozen’ samples can be a good alternative to sample rotation and oxygen flooding used for ultra-low-energy depth profiling of compound semiconductors.
