LINEAR TIME-OF-FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETER FOR STUDIES OF ELECTRONIC EFFECTS IN LOW ENERGY NEUTRAL OR ION SPUTTERING

Jan Lörinčík - Zdeněk Šroubek

   In this article the construction and performance of a linear time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (TOF SIMS) is described. This TOF SIMS was designed for studies of excitation and ionization phenomena in low energy ion and neutral sputtering.

Keywords: time-of-flight, TOF, secondary ion mass spectrometry, SIMS
