ERD with an absorber foil is easy to implement, featuring excellent sensitivity to light elements (H, He, Li) but with moderate depth resolution.

HI‐ERD is therefore often more sensitive than RBS for which the signals of the different elements are superimposed on each other. The higher stopping power of HI gives access to improved depth resolution.
