Abstract
Although nowadays the use of cluster ion sources seems to enhance the secondary ion emission for nearly all materials, the technique of metal-assisted SIMS can still give further insights in the secondary ion emission process. In this study, the metallization for static SIMS analysis was performed in situ. The combination of a detailed morphology study by SEM, TEM and the secondary yield enhancements in time-of-flight SIMS allows to develop a model explaining the secondary yield enhancement in metal-assisted SIMS.
