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.
13
www.phi.com
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.
High Aspect Ratio Samples

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.

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.
