In-Situ Pulsed Hydrogen Implantation in Atom Probe Tomography

Implantation In-Situ d'Hydrogène en Sonde Atomique Tomographique

Résumé

The investigation of hydrogen in atom probe tomography appears as a relevant challenge due to its low mass, high diffusion coefficient, and presence as a residual gas in vacuum chambers, resulting in multiple complications for atom probe studies. Different solutions were proposed in the literature like ex situ charging coupled with cryotransfer or H charging at high temperature in a separate chamber. Nevertheless, these solutions often faced challenges due to the complex control of specimen temperature during hydrogen charging and subsequent analysis. In this paper, we propose an alternative route for in situ H charging in atom probe derived from a method developed in field ion microscopy. By applying negative voltage nanosecond pulse on the specimen in an atom probe chamber under a low pressure of H2, it is demonstrated that a high dose of H can be implanted in the range 2–20 nm beneath the specimen surface. An atom probe chamber was modified to enable direct negative pulse application with controlled gas pressure, pulse repetition rate, and pulse amplitude. Through electrodynamical simulations, we show that the implantation energy falls within the range 100–1,000 eV and a theoretical depth of implantation was predicted and compared to experiments.
