VPD ICP-MS

VPD ICP-MS allows the determination of trace metal contamination on the surface of wafers. The full surface of the wafer is scanned during the analysis.

VPD ICP-MS is performed using acid to dissolve the top surface of the wafer before the determination of elemental concentrations with ICP-MS. Please note that lighter elements, such as H, C, N, O, and F, cannot be analyzed.

We offer analysis packages for a wide range of elements and can also provide analysis for noble metals.

This measurement is meant for 100, 150, 200, and 300 mm bare-silicon wafers.
