Resumo

The damage characteristics of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have been studied under bombardment by C<sub>60</sub>+, Au<sub>3</sub>+ and Au+ primary ions. The observed damage cross-sections for the three ion beams are not dramatically different. The secondary ion yields however were significantly enhanced by the polyatomic primary ions where the secondary ion yield of the [M + H]+ is on average 5× higher for C<sub>60</sub>+ than Au<sub>3</sub>+ and 8× higher for Au<sub>3</sub>+ than Au+. Damage accumulates under Au+ and Au<sub>3</sub>+ bombardment while C<sub>60</sub>+ bombardment shows a lack of damage accumulation throughout the depth profile of the PET thick film up to an ion dose of 1 ~ 10<sup>15</sup> ions cm<sup>−2</sup>. These properties of C<sub>60</sub>+ bombardment suggest that the primary ion will be a useful molecular depth profiling tool.<br />
