Spectrometry of the soft x‐ray emitted by the growing film or its substrate during sputtering is used to monitor the film synthesis: determination of native oxide on the substrates, film stoichiometry versus experimental conditions, control of oxygen content during nitride synthesis, etc. Quantitative data can be obtained by using a simple exponential profile for the ionization function.
