ULVAC PHI X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS)

PHI GENESIS XPS is the next generation of X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometry (XPS) which gives quantitative elemental composition and chemical state information about the sample surface (top 3 – 10 nm). PHI GENESIS XPS offers improved sensitivity through greater signal collection for elemental surface composition measurements and high-resolution binding energy chemical shift measurements of solid samples under high vacuum. It uses Al(Ka) radiation (1486 eV) and is equipped with the following advanced features:

  • Monoatomic Ar ion source
    • Bombards sample with a focused beam of energized Ar range of 0.3 – 4 keV.
    • Provides surface cleaning and depth profile capabilities at various beam energies and raster sizes.
  • Ar 2500+ Gas Cluster Ion Beam Gun (GCIB)
    • Bombards sample with clusters of Ar ions at various beam energies.
    • Provides surface cleaning and depth profiling with minimal sample damage and disruption to stoichiometry.
    • Ideal for polymer samples and other samples easily damaged by traditional ion beam etching.
  • Improved Angle Resolved XPS (ARXPS) with collection angle-limiting aperture.
  • SXI imaging for precise analysis location
  • Intro Chamber Camera
    • Records top-down image of sample before entry for sample registration and easy navigation.
  • SmartSoft-VersaProbeTM Software
    • For improved sample throughput and data collection efficiency.
  • Dual electron/ion flood gun for charge compensation
  • 60mm transfer module for air sensitive samples
