This paper presents a Monte Carlo code to get response spectrum of ions for the Neutron Depth Profiling (NDP) technique called Monte Carlo NDP (MC-NDP) that simulates the behavior of ions transmitted through a sample matrix and generates the energy spectrum for a specified detector. The MC-NDP model is based on the Ziegler-Biersack-Littmark Model, but incorporates the advantages of TRIM and CORTEO. The Impulse Approximation method is used to determine the flight length with the indexical interpolation method rather than the Magic algorithm for the scattering angle between ions and nucleus. This makes MC-NDP more efficient and convenient to simulate entire ion histories by a Monte Carlo approach. MC-NDP's results agree well with both TRIM results and the experimental data.
