What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

An ICP-MS is an analytical instrument that converts elements in a prepared liquid sample into ions and then separates those ions by mass. ICP-MS tools are used in laboratories that need very low level elemental contamination measurements in chemicals, water, and digested materials.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

ICP-MS systems typically rely on sample introduction hardware that produces a fine aerosol, a plasma source that atomizes and ionizes the sample, an interface that transfers ions from atmospheric pressure into vacuum, and a mass analyzer with a detector that converts ion flux into analytical signals. Collision or reaction cells in this class of instrument are used to reduce spectral interferences so that target elements can be measured more selectively.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor process support, ICP-MS is used off-line rather than as an in-line wafer processing tool. ICP-MS is typically placed in analytical or quality laboratories that verify incoming chemicals, ultrapure water, and process-related solutions before those materials are released to production or used in failure analysis and contamination investigations.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

In fab-related analytical workflows, ICP-MS is commonly applied to contamination control, raw-material qualification, and root-cause analysis. The technique is suited to dissolved samples and digests rather than direct wafer pattern inspection or lithographic metrology.
