Silicon oxide exists as a continuous solid solution of Si and O (i.e., Si to SiO2), and its band gap energy (Eg) depends on the oxygen content in the system. Si is a semiconductor (Eg=1.1eV) but SiO2 is an insulator (Eg=9eV). Substoichiometric oxide SiOx, where 0<x<2, is a semi-insulator. With its extensive applications in electronic and photonic devices, quantitative analysis for the structure and composition of silicon oxide synthesized by various methods becomes increasingly important to understand its structure/properties relationships. EELS, when coupled to a TEM with a field emission source, is a powerful analytical technique for obtaining a host of spatially resolved information from nanoscale solids. In this paper, several examples of applications of high spatial resolution EELS for quantitative analysis of silicon oxides will be illustrated, with brief descriptions of experimental and data quantification procedure.

Trace constituents, which can be very loosely defined as those present at concentration levels below 1 percent, often exert influence on structure, properties, and performance far greater than what might be estimated from their proportion alone. Defining the role of trace constituents in the microstructure, or indeed even determining their location, makes great demands on the available array of microanalytical tools. These demands become increasingly more challenging as the dimensions of the volume element to be probed become smaller. For example, a cubic volume element of silicon with an edge dimension of 1 micrometer contains approximately 5×1010 atoms. High performance secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) can be used to measure trace constituents to levels of hundreds of parts per billion from such a volume element (e. g., detection of at least 100 atoms to give 10% reproducibility with an overall detection efficiency of 1%, considering ionization, transmission, and counting).
