Abstract

In an apparatus for local surface analysis of a target sample in which an ion probe is directed to the target for sputtering particles. A chamber having walls heated to a high temperature (above 2200.degree. K as a rule) collects sputtered particles. The particles entering the chamber are subjected to successive adsorptions and desorptions before they leave the chamber for entry into a mass spectrometer. Scanning may be provided as in conventional SIMS systems.
