Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) uses focused high-speed primary ions to produce secondary ions from sample surface that are analyzed through a mass filter. SIMS is often called as ion microprobe, since it offers a micrometer-scale spatial resolution. Although the precision and accuracy of SIMS are not as good as many conventional mass spectrometers, it has several advantages such as small sample-size requirement, high spatial resolution and capability of in-situ analysis. In the field of geochemistry/cosmochemistry, SIMS is widely used for (1) stable isotope geochemistry of H, C, O, S, etc., (2) geochronology of U/Th-bearing minerals, (3) lateral distribution of trace elements in a mineral, and (4) discovery of presolar grains and investigation of their isotopic compositions.

이차이온질량분석기(SIMS)는 수 kV의 에너지를 갖는 일차이온($O_2^+$, $Cs^+$)을 시료표면에 충돌시켜 표면에서 떨어져 나온 이온의 질량 및 개수를 분석하는 장비이다. SIMS는 성분원소의 깊이분포도 측정, 질량분석, Image mapping등 다양한 분석을 할 수 있다. 특히 극미량 분석이나 깊이분포도 분석에서 가장 뛰어난 성능을 가지고 있어 아직까지 많이 사용하고 있다. 하지만 SIMS는 이온빔을 이용한 스퍼터링(Sputtering) 방법으로 분석을 하므로 파괴적이며 매질효과가 심하다. 또한 Matrix 물질의 함량이나 물질 자체가 변한다면 Sputtering rate도 그에 따라 변하게 된다. 이러한 현상에 의해 Sputtering rate는 다른 물질이 섞여 있는 경우 Sputtering rate이 빠른 물질이 먼저 Sputtering이 되는 Preferential Sputtering 현상이 나타나기 때문에 계면에서 깊이분해능에 좋지 않은 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SIMS로 Si(100) 기판 위에 약 100nm 두께로 Fe가 증착된 시료를 분석하였다. 이차이온으로 $O_2^+$이온을 사용하였으며 이온의 입사각을 변화시켜 각 조건에서 생기는 Fe 표면의 Topograph을 SEM으로 관찰하였으며, Topograph와 SIMS깊이분해능의 관계을 이해하고 $O_2^+$ 이온의 입사각 변화에 따른 Fe 표면의 Topograph의 형태와 산화도를 이해하고자 한다.

Secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS) and glow discharge mass spectrometry(GDMS) were used to determine the impurity concentrations of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen elements in the Cu and Ta films, and the results of SIMS and GDMS analysis were carefully considered. The Cu and Ta films were deposited on Si (100) substrates at zero substrate bias voltage and a substrate bias voltage of -50 V(Cu films) or -125 V(Ta films) using a non-mass separated ion beam deposition method. As a result of SIMS with Cs+ ion beam, in the case of the Cu and Ta films deposited without the substrate bias voltage, many strong peaks were observed, which is considered to be detected as a the cluster state such as CxHx, OxHx, CxOxHx. All the peaks of SIMS results could be interpreted by the combination of these dominant impurities. Moreover, it was confirmed that the quantitative results of GDMS analysis were accordant to the SIMS results.

Ta films were deposited on Si (100) substrates at zero substrate bias voltage and a substrate bias voltage of -125 V ($V_{s}$ = -125 V) using a non-mass separated ion beam deposition system. To investigate the effect of the negative substrate bias voltage on the impurity concentration in the Ta films, secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to determine impurities in the Ta films. By the SIMS depth profiles with $Cs^{+}$ cluster ion beam, high intensities of O, C and Si were clearly found in the Ta film at $V_{s}$ = 0 V, whereas these impurities remarkably decreased in the Ta film at $V_{s}$ = -125 V. Furthermore, from the SIMS result with $Cs^{+}$ and $O_2^{+}$ ion beams, it was found that applying the negative substrate bias voltage could affect individual impurity contents in the Ta films during the deposition. Discussions concerning the effect of the negative substrate bias voltage on the impurity concentration of Ta films will be described in details.

SIMS(Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) 분석 데이터의 정량화 방법으로 이온주입에 의한 실험적 접근법과 LTE(Local Thermal Equilibrium) 모델을 사용한 준이론적 접근법 2가지가 주로 논의되고 있다. 본 고에서는 LTE 모델을 사용, SIMS data를 정량화하는 방법에 대하여 기술하였으며 아울러 BASIC language로 된 간단한 LTE 프로그램을 제시하였다.

Recently SIMS has attracted interest as new technique to distinguish the primary and the secondary arc beads. A Cs+ primary ion beam was used to detect the $^{12}C^-$, $^{63}Cu^-$, $^{18}O^-$, $^{35}Cl^-$ secondary ions which are formed during depth profiles in the copper wires. In this work, we studied thermal diffusion in the copper wire which are occurred with supplying over-current. The results demonstrated that Carbon and Chloride are diffused in PVC-coated copper wire deeper than none PVC-coated. However Oxygen showed the reverse diffusion property.

Nuclear materials such as uranium are used as fuel for nuclear power generation, but there is a high possibility that they will be used for non-peaceful purposes, so international inspections and regulations are being conducted. Isotope analysis data of fine particulate obtained from nuclear facilities can provide important information on the origin and concentration method of nuclear material, so it is widely used in the field of nuclear safety and nuclear forensics. In this study we describe the analytical method that can directly identify nuclear particles and measure their isotopic ratios for fine samples using a large-geometry secondary ion mass spectrometer and introduce its preliminary results. Using the U-200 standard material, the location of fine particles was identified and the results consistent with the standard value were obtained through microbeam analysis.
