                 A profile of a 500-eV  arsenic  implant by Hitzman  and  Mount E1271 shows
            the effect of CS+ primary ion energy  and  incidence  angle  on  depth resolution
            (Fig. 4.38). These As-  profiles also demonstrate the high  sensitivity of the SIMS
            technique.
                 The use of MCs+ to make quantitative  profiling easier is illustrated  in  Fig.

            Imaging of elemental  and isotopic dist~butions on  surfaces has proved  useful for
            diffusion  measurements,  corrosion  and  reactivity  studies,  contamination  identifi-
            cation,  and  many other applications.  SIMS  imaging is particularly  useful  because
            of its high  sensitivity.  An  example  was  the  application problem in which a IJ-
