1.1 Auger microscopy

The acquisition of a secondary electron image of the sample surface by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a prerequisite for any Auger analysis, as it enables the area of interest to be selected for subsequent spot analysis. The acquisition of a local spectrum can be extended by xy mapping (or a profile along a preferred x direction) of one or more given elements by measuring, during the scan of the incident probe, the evolution of the intensity of the corresponding Auger lines. The approach is therefore similar to that for acquiring a scanning electron microscope image, substituting the detection of secondary electrons with the detection of one or more signals, each corresponding to a pre-selected energy interval in the Auger spectrum delivered by the analyzer...
