Abstract :
In this study (i) spatially-resolved electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a transmission electron microscope and (ii) secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) were applied to analyze elemental distributions in the differently processed ONO stacks deposited on Si. Also densities of individual layers in the ONA stacks were measured using X-ray reflectometry (XRR).
