Abstract

The possibility of quantitative SIMS determination of28-30Si isotope concentrations in silicon samples using a TOF.SIMS-5 spectrometer is shown. Th e isotope composition of a large number of Si samples, namely epitaxial Si layers with a natural isotope ratio, amorphous Si films depleted of28Si isotope (deposited on natural Si substrates), and samples enriched with 28Si isotope (manufactured by VITCON) is investigated. Substantial variations in the 29Si/30Si isotope ratio (from 1.51 for the natural content up to 25 in the case of limiting enrichment with 28Si isotope) are revealed.
