SIMS: from research to production control

Abstract: In 1958, when I joined the Philips Research Laboratories, there were a number of technological problems related to the analysis of solids within Philips that needed analytical support. Because the available (bulk) techniques did not give sufficient results, a new technique, later called secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), was launched that involved the bombardment of a solid target with (primary) energetic ions, followed by mass analysis and ion detection of the sputtered (secondary) target ions.The restri… Show more

“…19 We found, however, that the present profiles also suffered from apparent systematic biases within 1 nm of the surface. This approach works well when the error comprises primarily random noise, as is typically the case for SIMS.…”

“…Better quality factors were found with Chen's model. 7,8,13 ž The high a chPd values for Pd might be due to slight contamination of the surface, with f c decreasing strongly. ž The IMFPs for Si obtained from EPES measurements with the ESA 31 using Ag, Ni, Cu and Au reference samples, and the f s corrections, are displayed in Fig.…”

“…Microfossils of different ages have been compared by SIMS mapping of metabolically important elements as 12 C, 14 N (measured as the 26 CN À fragment ion) and 32 S. 96 These mappings show globules, aligned to form remnant nano-scaled walls of fossiliferous structures (Fig. 5).…”

“…The history of SIMS from its early beginning in the sixties has been recently reviewed by one of the pioneers, Werner. 12 The author clearly states that SIMS development has been originally driven by needs from the electronics and semiconductor industries. Early commercial imaging instruments delivering elemental information at some ten mm scaled lateral resolution were on the market at the end of the sixties: H. Liebl's scanned Ion Probe Mass Analyzer, IMMA, using a double focussing sector field mass spectrometer commercialized by ARL; G. Slodzian's ion microscope for imaging incorporating an ion mirror for energy discrimination commercialized by CAMECA; and a bit later, early in the seventies, ATOMIKA's scanning quadrupole SIMS instrument based on a design developed by K. Wittmaack and J. Maul entered the market.…”
