Title: Three-dimensional modeling of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer : optimization of SNMS/SIMS transmission using Simion.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:11905

A computer program that models secondary ion and post-ionized neutral trajectories through the SARISA instrument has been developed. The program has been tested by determining the transmission of secondary ions for two different ion energies. Results indicate that the model accurately reflects the transmission of the SARISA instrument. The developed algorithm for creating ions and monitoring their parameters is generic and can be used for examining other SIMS/SNMS instruments and ion sources.
