Introduction
Interpretation of the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB/T 37049—2018
1. Background and significance of the standard
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the internationally recognized gold standard for trace element analysis, with the advantages of high sensitivity, low detection limit and simultaneous detection of multiple elements. The formulation of the GB/T 37049—2018 standard fills the gap in the field of matrix metal impurity detection in electronic grade polysilicon and provides a unified technical specification for the semiconductor industry.
2. Principles and technical advantages of the method
ICP-MS introduces the sample into a high-temperature plasma source to atomize and ionize the metal impurities in the sample into ions. These ions are separated by mass-to-charge ratio in the quadrupole mass analyzer, and the signal intensity is recorded by the detector. The unique advantages of this method are:
- High sensitivity: the detection limit can reach $0.4~\mathrm{ng/g}$
- Simultaneous detection of multiple elements: six metal impurities including iron, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc and sodium can be determined at one time
- Strong anti-interference ability: the matrix effect can be effectively eliminated by mass number selection and internal standard correction
3. Comparative analysis of standard framework
| Standard dimension | GB/T 37049—2018 | International similar standards | Scope of application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detection method | ICP-MS | ICP-AES/MS | Specialized for electronic grade polysilicon |
| Detection limit requirement | $0.4~\mathrm{ng/g}$ | $1~\mathrm{ng/g}$ | Ultra-pure semiconductor materials |
| Interference factor control | Strict clean room environment (ISO5 grade) | Class 10 purification requirements | Laboratory levels vary greatly |
4. Implementation suggestions and technical points
Case study: Laboratory conditions confirmation
A semiconductor material company adopted this standard method for testing and found that:
- The detection limit of the equipment is consistent, RSD < 5%
- The clean room environment needs to be strictly controlled to avoid surface contamination
- It is recommended to establish a standardized sample pretreatment process
5. Analysis of the technical evolution of standards
From the perspective of technological development, ICP-MS has evolved from simple detection to intelligent calibration:
- 1990s: single element detection mode
- 2000s: simultaneous determination of multiple elements
- 2010s: maturity of internal standard method and anti-interference technology
- Currently: intelligent data analysis and automatic calibration system
6. Conclusion
GB/T 37049—2018 provides an important basis for the quality control of electronic-grade polysilicon. In the future, continuous improvements should be made in the following aspects:
- Establish a unified internal standard solution standard
- Optimize sample pre-treatment process
- Promote localization of equipment and technology upgrades
