Abstract: A silicon substrate analyzing device with which impurities such as trace metals in a silicon substrate having a thick nitride film or oxide film formed on a silicon substrate surface can be analyzed with a high precision by ICP-MS. The silicon substrate analyzing device includes a load port, a substrate transportation robot, an aligner, a drying chamber, a gas-phase decomposition chamber, an analysis scan port having an analysis stage and a substrate analyzing nozzle, an analysis liquid collecting means, and an analysis means for performing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The silicon substrate having an oxide film or a nitride film formed on the silicon substrate is subjected to scanning the surface of the silicon substrate with a high-concentration recovered liquid with use of the substrate analyzing nozzle so that the high-concentration recovered liquid is recovered. The recovered high-concentration recovered liquid is discharged onto the surface of the silicon substrate and then heated and dried. The surface of the silicon substrate is scanned with the analysis liquid so that the impurities are recovered, and the analysis liquid is analyzed by ICP-MS.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an analysis system capable of online transferring an analysis sample and promptly acquiring an analysis result. The analysis system capable of analyzing the analysis samples supplied from at least two sites, with one analysis apparatus, and requiring no cleaning process for a nebulizer and a spray chamber, is provided. The present invention relates to analysis system including at least two sample individually transferring units. Each sample transferring path of the sample individually transferring units is coupled to a plasma torch of a common analysis unit including the one analysis apparatus with inductively-coupled plasma or microwave plasma. Each sample transferring path has a main flow path, a makeup gas supply path, and a drain flow path. The plasma torch has a sample introducing pipe that introduces the atomized analysis sample, provided at a substantially center. The inner diameter of the drain flow path is equivalent to or larger than the inner diameter of an inlet portion of the sample introducing pipe of the plasma torch.
