Fourier analysis forward transform

Mass spectrometry has become more useful In the support of electronic development and manufacturing processes. Fourier transform mass spectrometry, the latest advance in this analytical method, Is another step forward in versatility, sensitivity and reproducibility in analytical characterization, qualification and quantification of raw materials and contaminants as used in electronic devices. A review will be provided of basic instrument hardware and interfacing, significant operating parameters and limitations, and special inlet systems. Emphasis will be placed on material evaluation, process control and failure analysis. Data handling will be reviewed using appropriate examples encountered in material and failure analysis.
