The Atomika SIMS analyses the composition of a sample by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. By using either oxygen or cesium ions accelerated by a high tension the surface of the sample is sputtered off as ions. These ions are analysed in a mass spectrometer and one can determine the elemental composition as a function of depth. If compared to signals from reference materials one can quantify the atomic composition - in certain cases down to extremely low concentrations (ppm).

Atomika SIMS
The Atomika SIMS in Labmanager
The Atomika SIMS analyses the composition of a sample by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. By using either oxygen or cesium ions accelerated by a high tension the surface of the sample is sputtered off as ions. These ions are analysed in a mass spectrometer and one can determine the elemental composition as a function of depth. If compared to signals from reference materials one can quantify the atomic composition - in certain cases down to extremely low concentrations (ppm). Doping levels and impurities may be determined.
Please note that no user will be instructed on the SIMS. Danchip staff will run your samples.
