Title: Semi-quantitative analysis of microstructures by secondary ion mass spectrometry

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15016427

The focus of this review is on trace-element quantitation of microstructures in solids. This review is aimed at the non-specialist who wants to know how SIMS quantitation is achieved. Despite 35 years of SIMS research and applications, SIMS quantitation remains a fundamentally empirical enterprise and is based on standards. The most used standards are ''bulk standards''--solids with a homogeneous distribution of a trace element--and ion-implanted solids. The SIMS systematics of bulk standards and ion-implanted solids are reviewed.
