TLDR
In this article, a practical reference for those involved in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is provided, with an emphasis placed on how to recognize and avoid commonly occurring analysis induced distortions.
Abstract
DESCRIPTION Serves as a practical reference for those involved in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) • Introduces SIMS along with the highly diverse fields (Chemistry, Physics, Geology and Biology) to it is applied using up to date illustrations • Introduces the accepted fundamentals and pertinent models associated with elemental and molecular sputtering and ion emission • Covers the theory and modes of operation of the instrumentation used in the various forms of SIMS (Static vs Dynamic vs Cluster ion SIMS) • Details how data collection/processing can be carried out, with an emphasis placed on how to recognize and avoid commonly occurring analysis induced distortions • Presented as concisely as believed possible with All sections prepared such that they can be read independently of each other

A New Radio Frequency Plasma Oxygen Primary Ion Source on Nano Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry for Improved Lateral Resolution and Detection of Electropositive Elements at Single Cell Level

TL;DR: The new rf plasma oxygen primary ion source offered a net improvement in terms of primary beam current density compared to the commonly used duoplasmatron source, which resulted in higher ultimate lateral resolutions down to 37 nm and which provided a 5-45 times higher apparent sensitivity for electropositive elements.

Dopant, composition and carrier profiling for 3D structures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the performance of 3D metrology tools and concepts for 3D devices and structures, and assess not only the ability to achieve 3D spatial resolution, but also the physical property which is probed, i.e., dopants versus carriers, as well as the complexity of the method used because this impacts on success rate, turn-around time, throughput, automation etc.
