Tomography of Microstructures by Scanning Micro-RBS Probe

Abstract
Tomographic images of microstructures were nondestructively obtained by Rutherford backscattering (RBS) analysis using 1.8 MeV proton and helium ion microprobes. Multilayered Au stripes isolated by SiO2 layers and a Ge island pattern below an SiO2 capping layer were cross-sectionally imaged without cleaving the substrate or removing the upper layer. The agglomeration of the Ge island after zone-melting recrystallization (ZMR) could be detected by tomographic images.
