Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF SIMS) is a well-established mass spectrometry technique used for the chemical analysis of both organic and inorganic materials. In the last ten years, many advances have been made to improve the yield of secondary molecular ions, especially those desorbed from the surfaces of organic samples. For this reason, cluster ion beams with kiloelectron volt energies for the excitation were mostly used. Alternatively, single-ion beams with megaelectron volt energies can be applied, as was done in the present work. It is well-known that a secondary molecule/ion yield depends strongly on the primary ion stopping power, but the nature of this dependence is not completely clear. Therefore, in the present work, the secondary ion yield from the phthalocyanine blue (C 32 H 16 CuN 8 , organic pigment) was measured for the various combinations of ion masses, energies, and charge states. Measured values were compared with the existing models for ion sputtering. An increase in the secondary yield with the primary ion energy, electronic stopping, velocity, and charge state was found for different types of primary ions. Although this general behavior is valid for all primary ions, there is no single parameter that can describe the measured results for all primary ions at once.
