Original Abstract

In the paper the design and application of a TOF-LEIS instrument built into an UHV complex deposition and analytical apparatus is described. A special attention is aimed at demonstrating the ability of TOF-LEIS to analyse near-to-surface layers of thin films prepared both ex-situ and in-situ. Additionally, the monitoring of diffusion processes close to a sample surface by this technique is presented. It is shown that the broadening of peaks in TOF-LEIS spectra can be attributed to multiple scattering and inelastic losses of ions in deeper layers. As a result of that, the peak width of ultrathin films depends on their thickness.
