1. Why Surface Analysis is important?
Surface Analysis Techniques:
Micro Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy: (FTIR) This technique is useful for identifying
functional groups of small spot size organic contaminants found on surfaces.
Scanning Auger Microanalysis:
Provides elemental information from the top atomic layers of conductor and semiconductor
surfaces. In combination with Argon milling, an elemental profile of the surface can be plotted,
determining variations in elemental compositions with depth.
2. Material Characterizations and Identification Techniques

° Backscattered Electron Imaging (BSEI)
° Energy Dispersive X-ray Microanalysis
° Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
° X-ray Diffraction
° Ion Chromatography
° Organic Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
