Abstract
The analysis of thin materials related to semiconductors using nuclear techniques was presented. Decreasing the beam energy from the conventional energy of 2 MeV to lower than 0.5 MeV or lower transforms rutherford backscattering (RBS) to a near surface analysis technique. It was concluded that problems of material characterization could be solved using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and dedicated nuclear techniques that provide good insight in the material behavior in shallow layers.
