Abstract

This article presents an overview of our current understanding of the fundamental factors underlying Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS). Included is a discussion of the sputtering process and possible mechanisms which produce ejected ions. Presently available instrumentation for SIMS analysis is discussed and some examples of SIMS analysis are also given.
