IonizationIonization
•
Ion yield/ionization efficiency : The fraction of sputtered ions that becomes ionized.
•
Ion yield can generally not be predicted theoretically.•
Ion yield can vary by several orders of magnitude depending on element and chemistry of the sputtered surface.
•
Oxygen on the surface will increase positive ion yield•
Cesium on the surface will increase negative ion yield
