Dynamic SIMS

Suitable for analysis of glass, metal, ceramics, silicon, compound semiconductors, shallow implants, and more!

"Dynamic SIMS" is a secondary ion mass spectrometry method that can detect trace amounts of all elements (from H to U) in samples with high sensitivity, ranging from ppm to ppb. It allows for qualitative analysis and depth profiling, and additionally enables high-precision quantitative analysis using standard samples (conducted at our partner company). The minimum beam diameter is approximately 30 µm, and it can be further reduced depending on the material. [Features] ■ Automatic loading/unloading of samples, high throughput (24 samples/load) ■ Unmatched depth profiling capability and high depth resolution, wide dynamic range ■ Optimized for the analysis of glass, metals, ceramics, silicon, compound semiconductors, shallow implants, etc. ■ Best detection limit: from ppm to ppb (10^-6 to 10^-9) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

As an example of organic matter analysis, we will introduce a case in which polyethylene glycol was analyzed.

TOF-SIMS can detect elements and organic molecules, as well as fragment ions, making it effective for organic analysis. As an example of organic analysis, we will introduce a case study of polyethylene glycol. Secondary ion mass spectra can provide valuable insights for the qualitative analysis of organic substances. In this case study, we can confirm the characteristic repeating structure of polyethylene glycol (C2H4O) as a group of peaks with a mass difference of 44. Calculating from the mass number, the terminal ends are likely H- and HO-, suggesting they are detected as protonated species. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

The analysis sensitivity of TOF-SIMS is high at the ppm level, making it effective for analyzing trace contamination!

This is an introduction to a case where water droplet-shaped contaminants were created on a Si wafer through reproducibility experiments. Measurements were conducted at the same location using SEM-EDX and TOF-SIMS, and a comparison of the image maps was made. In the TOF-SIMS image map, organic substances (CH, CN), Na, and K were detected around the watermark. While no contaminants were observed around the watermark in the optical image, SEM image, and EDX analysis, the TOF-SIMS image map revealed that trace amounts of contaminants were present. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

It is possible to detect with high sensitivity! We present a case comparing the analysis of Li using TOF-SIMS and SEM-EDX.

We will introduce a case comparing the analysis of lithium (Li) using TOF-SIMS and SEM-EDX. While SEM-EDX is used for the analysis of contamination and foreign substances, detecting Li with general EDX, excluding windowless EDX, is difficult. On the other hand, TOF-SIMS can detect Li with high sensitivity. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. 【Overview】 ■ Analysis of stains on copper plates ■ SEM-EDX analysis → Difficult to detect Li ■ TOF-SIMS analysis → Li detectable *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The purity of the electrolyte greatly affects the performance of the battery! It suppresses the volatility of sulfur components and converts them into a form that can be detected by IC.

We will introduce an example of analyzing the purity of diphosphorus pentasulfide using ion chromatography for the composition analysis of raw materials for all-solid-state batteries. Diphosphorus pentasulfide is one of the raw materials used in the production of electrolytes for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. As a pretreatment for IC measurement, the powder of diphosphorus pentasulfide was dissolved in alkaline water and converted into phosphate and sulfide salts. Subsequently, the sulfide ions were oxidized to sulfate ions to prepare the IC measurement solution.

We have updated the article on the website of the semi-custom system construction "Select Beam." When planning factories, logistics warehouses, and stores, "system construction" has become an effective means of achieving cost reduction and shortening construction periods. The rationality of system construction through thorough standardization is very high, and it is adopted in many projects. However, due to the differing characteristics of each manufacturer, many business owners find themselves wondering, "Which manufacturer is suitable for our plans?" and "Is it really optimal compared to conventional methods?" In this article, we will compare and introduce the basic knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of system construction, as well as recommend manufacturers by purpose in a ranking format. ■ Semi-Custom System Construction "Select Beam" This is a unique method by Sakura Structure, and it is a "third option" that is less expensive than system construction. It is the most suitable method for low-rise long-span buildings such as stores, warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities, as well as high-rise buildings like hotels.

"Because the ground is poor, we have no choice but to use a structural slab." Such fixed notions of "over-design" unnecessarily drive up construction costs. In large space buildings such as warehouses, factories, and stores, the choice of floor slab type is one of the most significant variables affecting construction costs. What is important is to compare and verify the advantages and risks of each type, and to derive the optimal solution that is "suitable for the purpose" for the entire building. By reading this content, you will understand the following points: - Characteristics of the five main construction methods with different support forms - Recommended situations for adoption - Cost comparison examples of floor slabs "I am struggling with the dilemma of floor settlement risks and costs on weak ground." "I want to know the optimal solution for the site without being tied to a specific construction method." Construction companies and general contractor representatives facing such issues are encouraged to take a look.
