Particle beam interaction using ToF-SIMS. This allows an analyst to retrospectively produce maps for any mass of interest, and to interrogate regions of interest (ROI) for their chemical composition via computer processing after the dataset has been instrumentally acquired.įundamental Principles of Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS)

Every pixel of a ToF-SIMS map represents a full mass spectrum.

Depth profiling capabilities sequential sputtering of surfaces allow analysis of the chemical stratigraphy on material surfaces (typical sputtering rates are ~100 A/minute).

Sub-micron imaging to map any mass number of interest.

Trace element detection limits in the ppm range.

Mass range of 0-10,000 amu ions (positive or negative), isotopes, and molecular compounds (including polymers, organic compounds, and up to ~amino acids) can be detected.

Einstein predicted there is a slight mass shift as atoms enter a bound state. Si and C 2H 4, both with amu = 28 ) are easily distinguished from one another because as Mr. Particles particles with the same nominal mass (e.g.

Analytical capabilities of ToF-SIMS include: Three operational modes are available using ToF-SIMS: surface spectroscopy, surface imaging and depth profiling. These particles are then accelerated into a "flight tube" and their mass is determined by measuring the exact time at which they reach the detector (i.e. The particles are removed from atomic monolayers on the surface (secondary ions). Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is a surface-sensitive analytical method that uses a pulsed ion beam (Cs or microfocused Ga) to remove molecules from the very outermost surface of the sample.
