Abstract. In Resonant Laser Ablation (RLA), material is ablated and selectively ionized by a low-energy pulse from a tunable laser. The selectivity and efficiency allow detection and quantitation at very low concentrations. We demonstrate that RLA has potential use in profiling thin layer and multilayer structures. Quantitative results are reported on the analysis of 20 and 100 Å copper thin films on Si(110) surfaces. Removal rates range from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-2}$ Å/shot. Prospects for interrogation of dopants and impurities are also evaluated.
