An evaluation system for a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) has been established, and the MDPP (minimum detectable partial pressure) has been estimated by using the evaluation system.
The system enables the reliabilities of QMS sensors to be compared quantitatively and provides core data for improving the performance of a QMS. Because the MDPP is composed of both the magnitude of the ionic current and its noise, it provides more reliable reference data for tuning a QMS. One way to estimate the MDPP is to measure the QMS signal of residual H
2gas at high vacuum. Another way is to use a mixture gas with a small amount of H
2gas. The second way provides a more precise result. This QMS evaluation system and the MDPP provide reliable tools to compare and evaluate the performance of an ion source which is the core part of a QMS sensor.
