When an energetic ion strikes the surface of a material --<br />

1) Ions with low energies may bounce of the surface<br />

2) Ions may adsorb to the surface, giving up its energy to<br />

phonons (heat)<br />

3) Ion penetrates t into material, depositing energy deep into the<br />

substrate<br />
