Mass Spectrometer (MS)
o Is a kind of machine which uses an analytical technique to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles(ions)
o This analytical technique is also known as Mass Spectrometry.
o MS works by ionizing chemical compounds to generate charged molecules or molecule fragments and measuring their mass-to-charge ratios
2/18 Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)
MS Application
Determining masses of particles
Determining the elemental composition of a sample or molecule
Elucidating the chemical structures of molecules, such
as peptides and other chemical compounds

General Structure of Mass Spectrometer
o Generally, a typical Mass Spectrometer consists of three parts: an ion source, a mass analyzer and a detector
o The function of the ion source is to produce ions from the sample.
o The function of the Mass Analyzer is to separate ions with different mass-to-charge ratios
o Then the numbers of different ions are detected by the detector
o Finally, the mass spectrum is generated after all the data have been collected

o The output, i.e. mass spectrum, is an intensity vs. m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) graph

Types of Mass Spectrometers
o Due to the differences in ionization techniques, various analyzers and detectors, the mass spectrometers can be divided into several types.

Introduction to SIMS
o SIMS is based on the observation that charged particles (Secondary Ions) are ejected from a sample surface when bombarded by a primary beam of heavy particles.

Structure of SIMS
Typically, a secondary ion mass spectrometer consists of:
o Primary ion gun generating the primary ion beam primary ion column, accelerating and focusing the beam onto the sample
o High vacuum sample chamber holding the sample and the secondary ion extraction lens
o Mass analyzer separating the ions according to their mass- to- charge ratio
o Ion detection unit.

Step 3, 4
Accelerating and focusing the beam onto the target sample
Which ionizes and sputters some atoms off the surfaceo This leads to the ejection (or sputtering) of both
neutral and charged (+/-) species from the surface.

Step 5, 6
These secondary ions are then collected by ion lenseso Ions generated by this process form the secondary
beam and are subsequently transmitted within a continuous high vacuum environment to a mass spectrometer
Filtered according to atomic mass
