This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $610,000 will fund the development of a secondary ion mass spectrometer with multicharged ion sources at Old Dominion University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding and applications of multicharged ion interactions under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which supports basic research and education in these fields.

Specifically, the university will develop an instrument with higher sensitivity and depth resolution than current commercial secondary ion mass spectrometers by utilizing multicharged ion pulses from a laser ablation source as the primary beam. This new technique holds promise to increase the ionization fraction of secondary beams by two to three orders of magnitude over single-charged ion sources, enabling more sensitive chemical analysis of thin film layers and shallow dopant profiling. A portion of the funding in the amount of $XX,XXX will also support complementary research at the University of California, Berkeley on particle-in-cell simulations of ion beam components to inform the technical design. The new capabilities are expected to benefit nanoelectronics, sensors, and fundamental studies of multicharged ion surface interactions.
