摘要
Applications of laboratory hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on buried interfaces in devices are presented. We use a novel spectrometer fitted with a monochromated CrK alpha source (photon energy: 5414.9 eV) and a high-voltage analyzer. Elements buried at depths as deep as 25 nm underneath various overlayers such as Al/Ta and Pt/Ti are detected and quantified from survey spectra, with chemical shifts accessible from high-resolution scans. Different analysis conditions towards optimizing the information depth are presented and discussed.
