Abstract

Atomic mixing effects of sputter depth-profiles are modeled by a diffusion theory with a depth-dependent diffusion constant D. The model is compared to SIMS depth profiles, using 5 keV Ar+ bombardment of dilute thin-film multilayers of Al, Ag, Ti and Mo in silicon. The experimental values of D can be explained by cascade mixing and radiation enhanced diffusion within the cascade for Al, Ag and Ti markers but not for the Mo marker.
