A form of mass spectrometry commonly used for surface analysis. When a primary beam of accelerated ions strikes a solid surface, secondary ions are among the elements displaced in a process called sputtering. These ions may be directly studied to gain information about the target material.

Technique closely related to secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), varying from it only in the strict separation between emission and ionization of the sputtered particles from the sample surface. Neutral atoms are detected by post-ionising any atoms that are ejected from the surface. This post-ionisation can be accomplished by using lasers or electron bombardment of the atoms entering the mass analyser.
