PHI ADEPT 2 Automated Depth Profiling Tool

PHI ADEPT 2 Automated Depth Profiling Tool

Dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (D-SIMS) is a highly sensitive analysis technique for in-depth distribution of elements, providing outstanding performance for ultra-fast depth profiling. Using a high transmission quadrupole mass analyzer and field-proven low energy primary ion guns, the ADEPT 2 is the prominent apparatus for analysis of dopants and impurities in thin films and devices.

The ADEPT 2 is the next-generation dynamic SIMS instrument from Physical Electronics, designed to meet the evolving challenges in advanced semiconductor devices. Building on the proven foundation of the ADEPT-1010, the ADEPT 2 introduces key hardware and software enhancements to improve sensitivity, resolution, and automation—making it an ideal tool for both development and high-throughput manufacturing environments.

Key Features of PHI ADEPT 2

  • High speed and High sensitivity SIMS
  • Ultimate Depth Resolution
  • Easy Automated Analysis
  • Enables CE compliance

  • Newly designed columns for both Cs+ and O2+ ion sources, enabling higher ion beam brightness and optimized performance across a wider range of materials. Reduced working distance between lens and sample improves focusing, resulting in a smaller beam diameter and more precise crater formation.
  • Optional ICP oxygen plasma source delivers higher ion current, increased source lifetime and beam stability compared to traditional Duoplasmatron sources, improving dynamic range.
  • New high mass detection capabilities allows for analysis of large clusters such as CsM+ and Cs2M+.
  • SmartSoft-SIMS instrument control software provides a modern, intuitive interface for streamlined multi-point analysis and automation.

With its advanced ion optics and control capabilities, the ADEPT 2 continues the tradition of high-precision SIMS analysis while expanding its capability to meet the needs of next-generation semiconductor devices.
