Analysis of Insulating
Samples
Due to the very efficient electron floodgun, perfect charge
compensation is achieved for analyzing all types of
insulating samples.
High mass resolution, high lateral resolution and high depth
resolution in combination with the Retrospective Analysis
makes TOF-SIMS a very powerful tool for
multi-component-layer samples, contamination screening,
corrosion analysis, particle identification, diffusion
profiling, failure analysis (e.g. stains, discoloring) and
unknown samples.
At higher sputter beam energy, samples of considerable
thickness can be analyzed within a reasonable measurement
time (sputter rate: up to 10 µm/h).
