“…It was shown that the signal-to-noise ratio could be reduced significantly by setting the noise between pulses to zero. 39 Up to now this has been only realised in early-stage prototype equipment.…”

“…Voronov et al 38,39 applied microsecond DC pulses to the GD source of the Element GD and applied time-gated detection by slightly modifying the electronics of the instrument. The addition of microsecond pulsed GD sources to the Element GD instrument improved the depth-profiling capabilities for thin layers significantly.…”

“…In particular, during the last 30 years, 6 commercially available GDSFMS instruments of different design were introduced to the market (Table 13.2), being the VG 9000 (VG Elemental, Winsford, UK) in The only remarkable innovation of this technique was the introduction of a microsecond pulsed glow discharge supply in order to improve depthprofiling capabilities and the analysis of thermally sensitive materials. 38 For instance, the development of pulsed-DC GDSFMS plays a major role on the analysis of thin-film photovoltaic layers on glasses, 39 and on other application areas.…”

“…Introducing a ms-pulsed GD supply on a commercial mass spectrometer by reducing sputtering speed without dramatic loss in signal intensity has made new application in thin-film analysis for plasma processes and photovoltaic available. 38,39 A large number of matrices (Fe, Ni, Cu, Al, Ti) and analyte elements have been analysed in order to produce reliable RSFs. 141 A clear correlation to relative sputtering yields could be found but nevertheless a difference remained, indicating additional processes to Penning ionisation.…”

GDMS is based on a glow discharge ion source, which generates ions through sputtering (cathodic sputtering) of a solid surface and ionisation (electron impact or Penning ionisation) by a glow discharge plasma. A glow discharge plasma is formed by the passage of an electric current through a low-pressure gas. The ions are separated in a mass spectrometer and finally recorded at a detector. GDMS is a method for the direct determination of trace elements in solid states providing traceelement information of solid samples. Beside the direct current (DC) mode, analytical glow discharges can also be operated in a radiofrequency (RF) mode, most often applied for analysis of nonconducting samples (Figures 13.1 and 13.2).

“…More recently, Voronov et al applied microsecond dc pulses to the GD source of the Element GD and used time gated detection by slightly modifying the electronics of the instrument. 398 By this modification they could use the source for depth profiling of thin solar cell films, which are thermally sensitive and thus difficult to analyze under dc conditions. Nevertheless, it has been shown that already with the default setup currently existing thin film analyses can be obtained that are in agreement with profiles analysed by a variety of other techniques.…”
