To analyze a single spectrum, select and maximize it. Before adding peaks to the spectrum, it is a good idea consider what you know about the sample. Here, I know that the sample has ALD deposited layers of ZnO and CuZn on top of a silicon substrate. I would therefore expect to see bulk silicon provided I sputter deep enough and oxidized silicon from the native oxide. Therefore, I scroll to a level where, preferably, both the oxidized Si2p and the bulk silicon Si2p are visible. In this case, it is level 35.
