Conclusion • RBS and TOF-ERD are mutually assistant in analysis from light elements • to heavy elements • Electrolytic films in which composition of light elements is important were • analyzed • It was found that Ru film can be a good dielectric film by introducing • small amount of oxygen • Nitrogen and oxygen were observed in a titanium tritide target and • the results reduced error of neutron cross section measurement • Cu migration during proton irradiation was also observed by RBS • measurement in spite of cooling by freon circulation • Ion beam analysis techniques are very successfully applied to • many fields of thin film studies
