Abstract

Elastic recoil detection (ERD) using energetic heavy ion beams is used to measure depth profiles of light and medium heavy elements in thin films. The main advantages of ERD are the possibilities of obtaining reliable and quantitative results, a sensitivity in the ppm region or a depth resolution even better than 1 nm. ERD analysis is employed to obtain quantitative information about the aluminum content of molar fraction in MBE grown AlxGa1-xN layers on Al2O3 substrates. Nitridation of heated Al2O3 substrates in NH3 atmosphere is investigated using high resolution ERD. The impurity content of group III nitrides is investigated on deposition conditions for both MBE and MOCVD grown samples.
