Scroll up or down through the levels of one spectrum by using the scroll button (either etch level or etch time). If several spectra are selected simultaneously by pressing SHIFT or CTRL while clicking on the spectra in the four quadrant view, you watch the evolution of the spectra together. | Scroll up or down through the levels of one spectrum by using the scroll button (either etch level or etch time).

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, | 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, we know that the sample has ALD deposited layers of ZnO and CuZn on top of a silicon substrate. One World therefore expect to see bulk silicon provided we sputter deep enough and oxidized silicon from the native oxide. Therefore, scroll to a level where, preferably, both the oxidized Si2p and the bulk silicon Si2p are visible. In this case, it is level 35. | ||
