摘要
The point-to-point resolution of Auger electron spectroscopy is compared to that of x-ray microanalysis of thin unsupported films and of thin films on a bulk material. Monte-Carlo calculations are used in this respect. The incident beam is a Gaussian-distributed curve with standard deviation sigma(o) = 40 angstrom and an energy range 10-100 keV. A Point-Spread-Function describing the radial distribution of the analysed signal is, in each case, determined from the Monte-Carlo results. From this function and by using the Rayleigh criterion, the point-to-point resolution is calculated.
