Abstract
An apparatus is described in which surface chemical analysis by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is carried out simultaneously with inert gas sputtering to obtain composition profiles normal to the solid–vacuum interface. Chemical profiles are presented for as-evaporated and air-heated nichrome thin film resistors.
