The O2+probe‐sample conditions and subsequent data analysis required to obtain high depth resolution SIMS depth profiles from Si1−xGex/Ge quantum well structures (0.6 ≤x≤ 1) are presented. For primary beam energies Ep>500 eV andxapproaching 1, a significant decrease in the Ge+ionisation probability resulted in unrepresentative and unquantifiable depth profiles. For Ep≤ 500 eV, a monotonic increase in the Ge+signal withxwas observed resulting in profiles representative of the sample structure and enablingxto be found. A depth scale was also established using a point‐by‐point approach taking into account the local erosion rate, which is a function ofx. Both the composition and the thickness of the Si1−xGexand Ge layers were found to be in excellent agreement with those obtained using X‐ray and transmission electron microscopy.
