The molecular depth profiling of polymer by the electrospray droplet impact (EDI) has been performed. The multiply charged water droplets with kinetic energy of ∼106 eV were irradiated on the polystyrene spin coated on silicon wafer. With EDI etching, the ablation of the target is suppressed to a minimal, i.e. the shallow surface etching with nonrecognizable damage on the surface is realized. It was...
