The Cameca 4f-E7 provides depth profile and contamination analysis on a broad range of materials from semiconductors and metals to insulators.

It is equipped with oxygen and cesium primary ion sources for analysis of positive and negative secondary ions and a high resolution (30,000 m/dm) double focussing mass spectrometer.

NOTE: Due to the very high complexity, extremely long training regimen and delicate nature of the SIMS instrument, student training is not available. Staff will perform required measurements to assure the proper instrument function, setup and data quality. This policy is in place to assure data quality, uptime and that users do not waste significant time and funds (typically hundreds of hours) in training for very limited use.

This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.

Configuration

  • O2+ and Cs+ primary ions
  • 1keV-15keV primary beam energies
  • Vacuum in the 1e-10 torr range gives ppm detection limits for atmospheric ions
  • High resolution double focussing mass spectrometer for separation of mass interferences
