TOF-SIMS
Surface and extreme surface analysis (< 1 nm)
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF SIMS) is a surface and extreme surface analytical technique. It is a true investigative technique that can detect generally all elements of the periodic table.
The art of making the surface speak... by TOF-SIMS
The TOF-SIMS technique allows to characterize the surface and extreme surface chemical composition of a sample.
Applications
Mass Spectrum
The TOF-SIMS technique is able to provide mass spectral information.
Ion image
The TOF-SIMS technique allows to obtain images of surface elements and molecules.
Depth profiling
Profiling allows targeting of small areas and also depth of investigation profiles without selecting specific features of interest. Also, clustered ion beams allow profiling of organic materials while retaining structurally significant information.
Why the TOF-SIMS technique?
- Analysis of failures and root causes in case of delamination, blistering, corrosion...
- Optimization of assembly by gluing
- Observation of deposits or pollution on the surface (elementary diagnosis of the surface)
- Verification of the surface functionalization of a product (improvement of its performance: adhesion, mechanical clinging...)
