Secondary Spectrometer Construction Process

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) uses an energetic (typically 250 eV to 30 kV) primary ion beam to sputter ions (both positive and negative) and neutral atoms from a sample surface, as shown in ...

5.5: Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

In SIMS the surface of the sample is subjected to bombardment by high energy ions - this leads to the ejection (or sputtering) of both neutral and charged (+/-) species from the surface. The ejected
