In this paper we represent the experimental ionization probability of sputtered silicon atoms as a function of their energy, which has been obtained for positive Si⁺ ions sputtered from silicon by O₂⁺ ion beam. To explain the experimental data, we have considered ionization of an outgoing atom at a critical distance from the surface, which occurs due to the electron transition between this atom and the surface, and suggested the formation of a local surface charge with the polarity opposite to that of the outgoing ion that has just been formed. Then we have considered the interaction between those two charges, outgoing ion, and surface charge as a process of the particle passage through a spherical potential barrier; as a result, we have obtained the theoretical energy distribution of secondary ions. Together with the well-known Sigmund–Thompson energy distribution of sputtered atoms, the obtained ion energy distribution allowed us to derive the equation for the secondary ion yield versus the sputtered particle energy. Both equations derived have exhibited a quite good correlation with our experimental results and also with a large number of published experimental data.
