Abstract:
Trace oxygen elements in CaF
2 crystal, YF
3 thin films and Au thin films were tested using time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. The results show that by changing the size of the analytical ion source aperture to change the ion beam current, the unit area ion dose acting on the sample surface was changed. As the ion beam current increased, the fluoride and oxygen ion yields of CaF
2 crystal and YF
3 film both increased, indicating the presence of oxygen in CaF
2 crystal and YF
3 film. The test results were consistent with the UV spectrum test results of CaF
2 and the infrared spectrum test results of YF
3 film. When the ion beam current increased, the Au ion yield increased, while the oxygen ion yield showed no significant change, indicating that the detected oxygen element came from residual gas in the experimental environment, and there was no oxygen element present in the Au film.
