Unique features of the PHI nanoTOF II TOF-SIMS:

• Elemental, isotope and molecular fragment with high mass resolution and high sensitivity

• 16,000 m/Δm mass resolution with ~ m/z 10,000 mass range

• > 1 part per million detection limits (Detection Limits ~109 at/cm2)

• 70 nm Spatial Resolution with 2 nm surface sensitivity

• The large angular acceptance and depth-of-field characteristics of the TRIFT analyzer provide high

sensitivity for chemical visualization of samples having rough surfaces.

• HR2 chemical / molecular imaging enables the acquisition of data with simultaneous high lateral

resolution and high mass resolution while also using a high analysis beam current, i.e. ≥ 1 nA, so that the

analysis times remain short, e.g. ≤ 10 minutes.

• The patented dual-beam charge neutralization system for ease-of-use in turn-key insulator analysis.

• The metastable rejection characteristic of the TRIFT analyzer generates data sets with high dynamic

range and low spectral background.

“Most Samples are Not Flat.”

TRIFT Analyzer Design Philosophy

If you can’t image a feature,

you can’t determine the

chemistry of that feature.

IC Bump Digitizer Trace Nozzle HD Head

Many samples of complex shapes produce a distortion of the ion extraction fields causing difficulties for

chemical imaging.

Delayed extraction reduces these effects in other instruments, but limits the mass range and produces

spectra with a non-linear mass scale.

The TRIFT has both a large angular acceptance and a large depth-of-field to overcome these difficulties

without using delayed extraction.

Large Angular Acceptance of TRIFT Analyzer

Three spatial crossovers refocus divergent ions to

generate a wide angular acceptance which is key for

high topography samples.

Large Depth-of-Field for TRIFT Analyzer

Higher energy ions travel a longer distance through the

spectrometer and arrive at the detector at the same time

as lower energy ions. The default position of the energy

slit provides a 240 eV bandpass filter for excellent

depth-of-field on high topography samples.

Collection of high quality data quickly without any tuning of the neutralization settings, the

spectrometer, or recalibration of the mass spectrum. Easy single parameter insulator analysis is

accomplished with only adjustment of the sample bias since the spectrometer is grounded.

Dual Beam Charge NeutralizationFor Insulators like Polymers and Life Science Samples

* US Patent 5,990,476, JP Patent P3616714, EP Patent 0848247B1

An electrostatic charge on the insulating sample

surface may repel electrons from a low energy flood

gun and prevent effective charge neutralization.

PHI’s patented* dual beam charge neutralization

method uses a low energy ion beam to eliminate

electrostatic charges on the sample surface and a

low energy electron beam to neutralize the charge

created by the primary ion beam.

Isotopic abundances are used to confirm peak assignments.

Example showing isotopic identification of Sr, Y and Zr.

There is high confidence for the identification of Sr, Y and Zr based on the

expected isotopic distributions. There is also high confidence for the

identification of Li, B, Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Sc, Ni, Co, Ce and Pr.

Minor isotopes of Gd were used for imaging due to interferences.

Practical mass resolution of polymers/tissue ~ 10,000 m/Δm.

Mass accuracy is limited to ~ 10 - 50 ppm.

Given the practical mass resolution and mass accuracy limits, it is not possible to

unambiguously determine the chemical formula of an ion above ~ m/z 200.

Additionally, there is no way to resolve overlapping peaks and isobaric (same nominal

mass) molecular ions at high mass.

Why is MS/MS Required in TOF-SIMS?
