In the spectra required to make such a depth profile, one can distinguish the various chemical environments of silicon depending on whether it is bonded to:
* Silicon as in the bulk (oxidation state 0).
* Oxygen, either fully oxidized (oxidation state IV) in SiO<sub>2</sub> or in intermediate states with a mixture of silicon and oxygen bonds (oxidation state I, II and III)
* Nitrogen, also fully oxidized (oxidation state IV)
and plot their atomic percentages along with the percentages of oxygen and nitrogen.
