GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometers

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document emphasizes the significance of understanding the chemical composition of materials, particularly in applications involving coated steels and semiconductor wafers. It highlights the RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry (RF-GD-OES) technique for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in analyzing both surface and bulk compositions.

Specifications
The GD-Profiler HR features a 1.0m focal length with an optical resolution of 14pm, capable of analyzing up to 60 channels simultaneously. It includes ion-etched holographic gratings for high light throughput and patented High Dynamic Detectors (HDD™) for enhanced speed and sensitivity. The GD-Profiler 2 can determine up to 47 elements with optical resolution ranging from 18 to 25 pm.

Procedures and Capabilities
The GD-Profiler Series utilizes a Class E RF generator for stability and precise surface analysis, capable of full spectrum acquisition in two minutes. It is suitable for analyzing thin films, coatings, semiconductors, and more, with a precision of 0.4% for main elements.

Norms and Standards
The technique is ISO 16962 recognized for analyzing Zn and Al coatings. The GD-Profiler Series minimizes matrix effects and provides linear calibration curves.

Recommendations and Best Practices
For optimal results, pulse mode is recommended for fragile materials, and cooling samples is crucial to prevent melting during analysis. Special sample holders are advised for irregularly shaped samples.

Technological Innovations
The High Dynamic Detection (HDD) system offers superior detection capability for trace elements with short integration times. The GD-Profiler instruments can perform full spectrum fingerprinting using IMAGE software.

Applications
The GD-Profiler Series is ideal for analyzing complex coatings used in CVD and PVD processes, supporting new product development and quality assurance in industries dealing with multi-layered coatings.

Software and Data Management
Quantum XP software provides multitasking capabilities, including Intelligent Quantification for accurate compositional depth profiles and customizable data presentation formats.

Awards and Recognition
JY received the NASA Excellence Award, highlighting the quality and reliability of the GD-Profiler Series instruments.

Additional Applications
RF-GD-OES is recognized for its speed and ease of use, suitable for applications such as analyzing hard disks, PZT layers, multilayers on glasses, and thin oxides on metals. It ensures minimal surface damage with a typical sputtering rate of 10-150 nm per second.

Performance and Results
RF-GD-OES achieves depth profiles of both thin and thick films, with the ability to make multiple measurements per element per atomic layer due to fast counting rates of High Dynamic Detectors (HDD). Recent results demonstrate its capability to resolve molecules deposited on copper.

GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometers-2

GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometers For many applications, it is essential to know the chemical composition of a material, both at the surface, at the interfaces and in the bulk. Whether the application is coated steels, e.g. for car bodies, or semiconductor wafers, e.g. for integrated circuit manufacture, the surface composition determines many important parameters such as appearance, corrosion resistance, adhesion, conductivity, etc, while the bulk composition is important for the stability and long life of the product. Only one technique, RF Glow Discharge Optical...

GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometers-3

Bulk, Surface and Depth Profiling, Conductive and non Conductive Typical 2-D crater obtained on Zn coated steel. The double pumping system of the HJY RF lamp minimizes the redeposition on the edges of the crater. This allows analysis down to 150 microns with excellent flatness, which is critical for depth resolution. GD-Profiler Series RF-GD-OES system combines a glow discharge powered by a radio frequency (RF) source with an optical emission spectrometer. The essence of a glow discharge instrument is the source which supplies power to create the GD plasma. The HJY design allies the advantages...

Speed and Sensitivity without Compromise for any Application Depth profile analysis is a continuous process of sputtering through a sample at a rate of typically 3 microns per minute. At such a speed, two parameters are critical. First and foremost is time. Valuable information is lost with any time spent waiting or integrating. Second is the ability to respond accurately and immediately to the rapidly changing concentrations as you work through different layers and arrive at various interfaces. This means the ability to measure elements at both trace and major concentrations instantaneously....

GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometers-6

RF Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry for Surface and Thin Film Analysis 7nm The capability of RF-GD-OES as a tool in surface science is now recognized. Though the technique does not provide lateral resolution, its speed and its ease of use make it the technique of choice for many investigations. Recent examples on hard disks, PZT layers, multilayers on glasses and thin oxides on metals have been published widely. For all these applications, the low energy of the incident particles in RF GD (50eV) assures minimal surface damage. The speed of RF-GD-OES allows depth profiles of both thin...
