According to the latest research, the global SIMS market size was valued at USD 331.07 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.42% during the forecast period, reaching USD 537.83 million by 2028.
Secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a technique used to analyze the composition of solid surfaces and thin films by sputtering the surface of the specimen with a focused primary ion beam and collecting and analyzing ejected secondary ions. The mass/charge ratios of these secondary ions are measured with a mass spectrometer to determine the elemental, isotopic, or molecular composition of the surface to a depth of 1 to 2 nm. Due to the large variation in ionization probabilities among elements sputtered from different materials, comparison against well-calibrated standards is necessary to achieve accurate quantitative results. SIMS is the most sensitive surface analysis technique, with elemental detection limits ranging from parts per million to parts per billion.
Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) detects very low concentrations of dopants and impurities. The technique provides elemental depth profiles over a wide depth range from a few angstroms (Å) to tens of micrometers (µm). The sample surface is sputtered/etched with a beam of primary ions, (usually O2+ or Cs+) while secondary ions formed during the sputtering process are extracted and analyzed using a mass spectrometer (quadrupole, magnetic sector or Time of flight). The secondary ions can range in concentration from matrix levels down to sub-ppm trace levels.
Market Challenges & Risks
SIMS has some serious limitations: The material sputtered from the sample surface consists not only of mono-atomic ions but molecular species that in places can dominate the mass spectrum, making analysis of some elements impossible.
Destructive. SIMS is a destructive step, much like the Focused Ion Beam cross-section, and, as such, should be performed at the end of the analysis after all electrical data and fault isolation. SIMS is not a normal procedure for a one-of-a-kind field return. SIMS is more commonly used to aid in yield analysis or yield improvement activities where a number of samples are available. SIMS depth profiling tends to work best on large area test structures where SIMS data is more accurate.
The sputtering process is poorly understood. No quantitative model currently exists that can accurately predict the secondary ionisation process. In order to obtain quantitative information a suitable standard has to be used and empirical corrections applied. Because both atomic and molecular species are produced during sputtering of the samples, not all elements in all substrates (matrices) can be analyzed quantitatively. For example, Lu-Hf in zircon is plagued by unresolvable isobaric (equal mass ions) interferences that cannot be overcome by either forward geometry multi-collection or reverse geometry high-resolution instruments.
The sensitivity of an element is strongly dependent on the composition of the matrix and the type of primary beam used. Standards should, therefore, be close to the composition of the unknown. This is particularity true for Life Science and Pharmaceutical.
Samples must be compatible with an ultra high vacuum.
