✦ Synopsis


It is shown that the accuracy by which a concentratiodepth profile can be estimated from the inelastic background of an XPS spectrum is dramatically improved by using two-dimensional (2D) data. The energy loss distribution of the photoelectrons for several values of the detection angle, or the energy of the excitation source, are treated as a single 2D data set. The resolution of the depth profile estimated from this set is far better than can be obtained from any single XPS spectrum.
