Ultra Spectrometer: Spectral mode • Standard input lens optics is used • Electrons entering the analyzer slit with different energies (illustrated with different colours) are dispersed between the inner and the middle hemisphere • Common detector plane accomodates 8 MC detectors
Ultra Spectrometer: Imaging mode • Standard input lens is used • Third, “outer” hemisphere is added to create a spherical mirror analyzer (SMA) consisting of the middle and the outer spheres • Electrons pass through the middle hemisphere into the SMA & back to the detector plane • Parallel image maintained • Fast, real time image
The Spherical Mirror Analyser • First Investigated by Sar-El in 1966 and later by Tremblay and Roy 1983 and Diamon 1987 • Consists of two concentric hemispheres • Object and Image within inner hemisphere • Spherical aberration is zero • First order energy dispersion zero at image position Outer Hemisphere Innerhemisphere Object Image
Imaging properties of the spherical mirror • Left: Parallel electron trajectories at the SM analyzer entrance slit are parallel at the exit, therefore no first order radial dependence of the trajectory on the position in the image • Right: Electrons entering the analyzer at the same point with different energies will be dispersed within the SMA Energy dispersion Object Image Object Image

XPS Imaging with the Kratos Ultra • Parallel images achieved in seconds • Variable FOV >2mm - 100mm • Spherical Mirror Analyser (SMA) works in FAT mode • Spatial resolution < 3mm
Examples:Cu grid • Cu grid • horizontal bars 20mm • vertical bars 40mm • Parallel images acquired in 1,5,10 & 20s • Fast photoelectron images allow sample alignment • As sample moves … image moves!!
XPS Imaging of 5 um Cu Grid • Example to follow! • 2 min acquisition shows excellent contrast • Retrospective line scans possible • gives 25mm pitch • Edge measurement (80-20%) • 2.2mm spatial resolution
XPS Imaging of 5 mm bars 2.2 um edge
XPS Imaging of Layered Materials • Survey of sample in cross-section showed Ti Al alloy Ti layer 8 um Al/SiC matrix
Ti Layer Summary • Ti 2p image acquired in 3 min! • Retrospective line scan shows ~10mm layer • Spectra acquired from 8mm layer • example of multipoint spectroscopy • good signal to background from < 10 mm area
What is multi-spectral imaging? • MCP and SMA used for spectroscopy! • FAT mode of SMA allows constant DE • Area limited by spatial resolution (~3mm) • Many areas from one image may be used
y(mm) Grey scale = intensity x (mm) Multi-spectral imaging Spectra reconstructed from small area eg (<10 mm) Energy (eV)
Spectra from Images • Record a sequence of images over any energy range • Sum intensity of pixels within defined area to obtain spectral info. • SiO/Si ring structure • 10m defined area in oxide and metal region • High resolution spectra
Example: Si/SiO2 • Patterned SiO2 on Si wafer • Multi-spectral imaging acquired through Si 2p peak • Images show complementary SiO2 and Si enriched areas • Si 2p spectra reconstructed from < 10 um areas • Note: Dark areas are covered by photoresist
