Abstract
An electrically conductive sample support mounting for the analysis technique of secondary ion mass spectrometry employs a sample plate accommodating the sample. At the sample plate surface facing an ion beam or neutral particle beam, the sample is arranged in an environment-free fashion fully in the interior of the region impinged or scanned by the ion beam or neutral particle beam. Through the creation of a so-called orifice, interfering influences which can arise from a crater rim and from its surroundings are entirely eliminated. The invention is applied in the case of depth profile measurement of ion-implanted doping materials in semiconductor crystal disks and for the purpose of ultrasensitive trace analysis in solids.
