Microfabricated Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer With a Brubaker Prefilter

Abstract: Microfabricated quadrupole mass spectrometers with Brubaker pre-filters are demonstrated for the first time. Complete filters are assembled from two dies, each carrying two pairs of rods providing the pre-filter and main filter sections. The rods are held in precision silicon mounts that are fabricated using wafer scale deep reactive ion etching and anodic bonding to glass substrates. Improvements to ion transmission are obtained by tuning the bias potential applied to the pre-filter. The effect is explained i… Show more

“…Complex structures can be built-up by etching both sides of the wafer, growing insulating oxide layers, selective metalization, and anodic bonding to glass wafers. As the design, fabrication, and performance characteristics of the MEMS components used here have been described in detail elsewhere [32,33,40,41], only a brief overview is given.…”

“…1. Префильтр представляет собой четыре корот-ких электрода, близко примыкающие к электродам КФМ и имеющие такую же форму профиля, как у электродов КФМ [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Мы выделяем следующие области электри-ческого поля внутри такой электродной системы [13]: (I) входное краевое поле между заземленной входной диафрагмой и префильтром, (II) поле префильтра, до-стигшее стационарного значения, (III, IV) переходное поле между префильтром и КФМ, (V) поле КФМ.…”

“…Впервые для увеличения чувствительности КФМ к ионам низких энергий (к ионам больших масс) использование короткого радиочастотного (РЧ) квадруполя (или префильтра), устраняющего постоян-ный потенциал на входе КФМ (так называемый метод delayed DC ramp), было предложено Брубаккером [4]. Исследования [5,6] подтверждают, что данный метод позволяет увеличить пропускание ионов тяжелых масс и тем самым устранить негативное влияние входного краевого поля.…”

“…The first is a simple quadrupole fabricated using bonded silicon-on-insulator material [83,84]. The second is a quadrupole with a Brubaker prefilter (the use of which can improve ion 16 transmission, especially in small devices) fabricated using silicon-on-glass [87]. Each type of filter is constructed from two stacked, microfabricated dies, each carrying two of the four electrodes required in a quadrupole.…”

“…Recently, a new silicon-on-glass design from Microsaic Systems incorporating a pre-filter achieved a mass range of m/z = 1200 and a resolution of m/∆m ≈ 150 at 10% peak height [87]. Other approaches include the use of DRIE [88,89] and rapid prototyping [90,91] to form electrodes.…”
