Development of an on-line isotope dilution laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP-MS) method for determination of boron in silicon wafers

Calibration and correction of LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS analyses for element contents and isotopic ratios

“…Reference materials preparation techniques including (1) pressed-powder pellets with (Jarvis and Williams, 1993;O'Connor et al, 2007) and without (Arroyo et al, 2009;Garbe-Sch€ onberg and Müller, 2014) binders; (2) fused glasses with (Becker and Dietze, 1999;Eggins, 2003;Perkins et al, 1993) and without flux agent (Fedorowich et al, 1993;He et al, 2016;Jochum et al, 2000;Kurosawa et al, 2006;Nehring et al, 2008;Norman et al, 1996;Reid et al, 1999;Stoll et al, 2008;Zhu et al, 2013). Solution-based calibration method (Becker, 2002;Dressler et al, 2010;Günther et al, 1997;Kovacs et al, 2009;Leach et al, 1999;Thompson et al, 1989;Yang et al, 2010) can be applied in the absence of suitable solid reference materials. Although much effort has been expended in finding ways to produce multi-element solid reference materials cheaply and rapidly, the number of off-the-shelf commercially available solid reference materials is very limited (Jochum and Stoll, Gilbert et al (2013) 2008) ( Table 2).…”

Evaluation of mixing devices and connection mode in the determination of Pb in glass using online isotope dilution laser ablation-ICP-MS

“…To eliminate the inconvenience of preparing an isotopically-enriched solid spike, online isotope dilution LA-ICP-MS equipped with a gas sample introduction system was developed. [15][16][17] Trace elements in solid samples could be quantitatively analyzed by the convenient online ID-LA-ICP-MS arrangement, and this method was also suitable for compact samples. However, whether isotopic equilibrium has been reached aer the incomplete mixing process of the aerosols needs to be fully investigated.…”

Quantitative Bioimaging of Platinum via Online Isotope Dilution-Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

“…32 Another study on online-ID-LA-ICPMS was published by Yang et al in 2010, who determined boron in silicon wafers. 33 They introduced the 10 B spike aerosol after the ablation chamber via nebulization through a cross-flow nebulizer (wet aerosol). 33 In 2014, Fernańdez et al presented the "double ID-MS" mode, in which both the sample and a CRM are analyzed sequentially by ablation and online addition of the isotopically enriched spike.…”

“…Prior to the ablation cell, they introduced an isotopically enriched dry aerosol which was produced by a microconcentric nebulizer with membrane desolvation to analyze Ag, Tl, and Pb in platinum nanoclusters . Another study on online-ID-LA-ICPMS was published by Yang et al in 2010, who determined boron in silicon wafers . They introduced the 10 B spike aerosol after the ablation chamber via nebulization through a cross-flow nebulizer (wet aerosol) …”
