Tóm tắt

AbstractBy using mass spectrometry to analyze the atomic and molecular secondary ions that are emitted from a solid surface when bombarded with ions, one obtains detailed information about the chemical composition of the surface. A time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer is especially suitable for the analysis of secondary ions because of its high transmission, high mass resolution, and ability to detect ions of different masses simultaneously. By using a finely focused primary ion beam it is also possible to analyze microareas and generate surface images with a lateral resolution of 0.1 μm or less. Static time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF‐SIMS) allows monolayer imaging and local analysis of monolayers with high sensitivity, a wide mass range, high mass resolution, and high lateral resolution. Besides information on elements and isotopes, the technique yields direct information on the molecular level and can also be used to analyze surface species of high molecular mass that are thermally unstable and cannot be vaporized. The method can be applied to practically all types of materials and sample forms, including insulators in particular. In this article the basic principles of TOF‐SIMS are explained, and its analytical capabilities for both large area and imaging applications are illustrated by examples. These include silicon surfaces (both uniform and structured), thermally unstable organic molecules on surfaces, synthetic polymers, and synthetically prepared molecular surface films, particles, and fibers. Emitted neutral particles can also be analyzed by postionization with a laser, and the possibilities of this technique are discussed.
