Analysis of Insulating Samples
Due to the very efficient electron floodgun, perfect charge compensation is achieved for analysing 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, discolouring) and unknown samples.
At higher sputter beam energy, samples of considerable thickness can be analysed within a reasonable measurement time (sputter rate: up to 10 µm/h).
