The use of cluster ion sputtering for depth profiling of polymers, organics, and biomaterials has opened an entirely new field of application for surface analytical methods and shown potential to analyze chemical bonding and molecular structures during sputtering into a sample surface. In this talk we present a comparison of the use of XPS depth profiling of thin polymer films with Ar, C60, Coronene and Ar Gas Cluster Ion Beam (GCIB) sputter sources. The GCIB sputter source produces an Ar2500+ ion beam with user definable incident beam energy. Optimized conditions for the incident ion beam energy of the GCIB will be presented to provide minimal chemical state damage during the depth profiling. Results will also be presented showing that the GCIB source can be used to remove damaged layers from modified surfaces.
