Abstract:
A mass spectrometric method according to the Gentle SIMS (G-SIMS) method uses a liquid metal ion source which contains, on the one hand, a first metal with an atomic weight ≧190 U and, on the other hand, another metal with an atomic weight ≦90 U. One of the two types of ions are filtered out alternately from the primary ion beam and directed onto the target as a mass-pure primary ion beam.
