Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a depth profiling method that can be used for a wide variety of solid materials to determine impurities or dopants.

All elements from hydrogen to uranium can be detected.

Standards are needed to get quantitative results.

Profiling can be done from 10 nm to a few µm thickness and needs to be done in electronegative or electropositive modes depending on elements.
