Abstract

PURPOSE:To analyze the composition of a specimen with high reliability, by a method wherein a large output pulse laser is allowed to irradiate the surface of a specimen to make said specimen amorphous and fast atomic beam is subsequently allowed to irradiate the surface of the specimen to discharge secondary ions which are, in turn, subjected to mass analysis. CONSTITUTION:In such a state that a shutter 19 is closed, laser 23 of one pulse is allowed to irradiate a specimen 13 from a large output pulse laser apparatus 20 to make the surface thereof amorphous. Successively, the shutter 19 is opened and fast atomic beam 22 is guided to a shield case 15 from a fast atomic beam source 11 to apply bombardment to the surface of the specimen 13. Secondary ions 24 are discharged from the surface of the specimen 13 by said bombardment and ones having proper kinetic energy are selected by an energy filter 18 to reach a mass analyzer 16. The analyzer 16 performs the mass analysis of inci dent secondary ions and the composition of the specimen 13 is analyzed on the basis of the analytical result. By this method, compositional analysis is performed with high accuracy.
