Description

A FAB SIMS/SNMS, which is a mass analyzer for secondary ions and sputtered neutrals emitted from a solid bombarded by a fast atom beam, has been developed for analysis of metal or plastics. The fast atom beam for bombardment are an oxygen atom beam with a kinetic energy of 3 keV and a flow of 1 x 1014 atoms/sec (equivalent to 10μA of ion current). The sputtered neutral spectra are separated from the residual gas spectra on a computer. This separation technique avoids the loss of analytical sensitivity. The apparatus is suitable for analysis of a thermolabile insulator such as polyethylene film. (author)
