Scanning ion imaging as a diagnostic tool for an ion microscope

Abstract
A scanning system has been installed on a Cameca IMS 3f ion microscope. The system has been invaluable for alignment of secondary ion extraction to the centre of the crater during depth profiling, detection of inclusions and lateral inhomogeneities during depth profiling and compensation of charging of insulators using an electron flood gun. Limitations of the standard gun have become apparent.
