[Case Study] Quality Control through Surface Analysis

The surface adhesion components (such as polydimethylsiloxane) can be evaluated using TOF-SIMS.

TOF-SIMS (Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) is a method that can sensitively evaluate organic and inorganic substances on the very surface, and it can be used as an analytical tool for various quality control processes of products. For example, it can be used for regular checks of surface contaminants during product storage, investigating the causes when defects such as peeling or discoloration occur in products, and analyzing changes in key components before and after altering manufacturing conditions. This document presents an example of comparing the surfaces of silicon wafers stored under different environments, focusing on the representative contaminant polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Measurement method: TOF-SIMS Product fields: Electronic components, manufacturing equipment, parts, and others (general electronics) Analysis purposes: Surface analysis, evaluation of chemical bonding states, failure analysis, defect analysis, and others (contamination assessment, quality control) For more details, please download the document or contact us.
